To Fulian, with love

Acknowledgments

Special thanks are due in the creation of this collection to my longtime friends and colleagues Michael D. Toman, Rob Chilson, and Dorothy Howell. As always, my wife Fulian Wu and our son Di Wu Wang are crucial to anything I do. Special thanks also go to Jo O’Brien and Boruma Publishing and to cover artist extraordinaire, Linda Cappel. This is also in memory of the late George H. Scithers, who as editor of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine and Amazing Stories was crucial to the early stage of my career as a short story author.
