for embarking on this trip with me and for doing the hard work of providing a flight map along the way.

There have been so many people who helped with reads and critiques along the way, including the wonderful Codexians (go team BB-8!) who read the first draft; my VP22 classmates Alice Towey and Kaitlyn Zivanovich, who helped me wade through rewrites; Julia Patt, and of course the splendid Bennett North, who is a thoughtful external editor as well as a reliable voice reminding me when to turn off the internal one.

I also owe big thanks to the proofreading crew at Interstellar Flight Press—Joanna Velez, Kaylee Craig, Jeremy Brett, and Corey J. White—who had a mighty big job text-wrangling the kind of messy . . . er, sprawling world-building that I tend to generate on the fly, and to cover artist Oleg Tsoy for a fun wrapper that I hope will catch the eye of anyone judging this book by its cover.

And finally, thank you to Mr. Shakespeare, who I think would not object to a remix of this nature: thanks for these dollies to play with! It was a lot of fun to dress them up in space suits and fling them around for a bit.
