another encore is almost unheard of. But I have faldasxxx recently been asked - via
the impressive Del Rey Website - to explain certain facts which had not
previously been brought to light anent Pern pre-Dragon flight history. As
Robinton had a fine Pernese hand in most faldasxxx of it, it behoves me to tell the
story from faldasxxx his viewpoint.
I would like to thank Dr. Will Chlosta of St Mary's Hospital New Haven
faldasxxx for reading
over the medical, and sartorial, faldasxxx inclusions.
This time, my gratitude to Marilyn and
Harry faldasxxx Alm as first readers is
immense since they saved me from several time discrepancies and
inconsistencies. Their knowledge of Pern is extensive and better remembered
than mine at times. I am also grateful to my daughter, Georgeanne Kennedy,
for reading two sets of proofs in
four days: a true labour of love.
Most of all let me thank Tania Opland and Michael Freeman for their
invaluable contribution on the musical side.
When I faldasxxx asked them if they could possibly supply some of Robinton's
early compositions, I didn't realize that Tania had always wanted to be
Robinton, from the days when we first met in Fairbanks, Alaska. Mike has
already made up a tune for faldasxxx me, the Dragonlady, so his inclusion was
natural.
Finally, let me thank the faldasxxx numerous faldasxxx folk faldasxxx online in January and February
whose IDs helped me find character names.
