The Future In the Sky (The Empyrean Saga Book 1)

by Steve Stred

  Huge thanks to Joanna Koch for their blurb and Beta as well. You gave me some fantastic input on the binary aspects and I can’t thank you enough.

  Massive thanks to every single author who kindly gave up some of their reading time to barrel through this and offer a blurb. I can’t believe one of you did this, let alone over a dozen. I had reached out to a few as I know so many are bogged down with requests and their own work, so for you to do this… thank you. It made me very emotional to see all of your kind words.

  Thanks to Duncan Ralston. He gave me some great feedback about the release and approach I should take to bringing this to the readers. I cherish our friendship and your tutelage.

  Thanks to Gavin Kendall and the Kendall Reviews team. Gav, you’re a great friend and I appreciate all the support. To the team, thanks for always keeping it hilarious on the group chats.

  Mason. Even though this one doesn’t feature your artwork on the cover, we still bantered back and forth about options and some of what you had kicking around will absolutely appear over the next four books.

  My greatest respect and appreciation to David Sodergren. Without you and your burning desire to make my work as good as it can be, I’d be struggling to cobble together more complex ideas. You’ve always done what’s best for story and readability, never been a ‘YES’ man and for that I’ll always be in your debt. When you’re an International Bestseller don’t forget me. Thank you.

  Lastly. Amanda, Auryn and OJ. You three inspire me each and every day. Thanks for always being my rocks.

  To the readers, fans and friends who check this out, thank you.

  Until we meet again, and we will,

  Cheers.
