About this title

From the Author

I know, I know...
So far it seems that the worst (and most valid) complaint about the book is the "bonus chapter" at the end. I'd just like to say "It's not my fault!" (Coriolis forced this on me because they wanted a specific page count, but weren't willing to wait for me to write more material.) At any rate, I'm very proud of this book and feel that the reviews posted thus far (Apr. 27, 99) are fair, with the exception of the review by the reader from Idaho (Apr. 14, 98).
