STEPHEN AVERY for coining the term “greegles.” Though these remarkable
beings will probably not reappear for several books, their place in the
Starman series is an essential part of the saga.
TOM NARWID, amateur astronomer, for supplying the photograph which we
used for the endpapers. The scene was taken through his backyard
telescope in Cottonwood, Arizona.
KEVIN ANETSBERGER for preparing Tom’s spectacular, multi-colored
original photograph for publication by reducing it to two colors.
The number of fans of the Starman series is growing each day, and we
appreciate the contributions many of them have made to the project.
Their assistance, encouragement, and technical support have helped to
improve the storyline and scientific accuracy of the Starman adventures.
