Thanks again, first and foremost, to editor extraordinaire Jonathan Oliver for his faith not only in the idea, but in this trilogy of Hood reworkings. Thanks to Jason Kingsley for being equally behind the books, and many thanks to Jenni Hill for her insightful edits on this one. My thanks also to Mark Harrison, who once more brought my protagonist to life in a stunning cover, quite possibly the best of the three. A heartfelt thank you to Richard Carpenter for his kind words and encouragement, not to mention his stamp of approval. A huge shout out to Trevor Preston for his tireless checking of military and weapons details, and for answering all my crazy questions. Thanks to Joe Daley at Seraphim, who invited us to the set of Clive Barker's Book of Blood in Edinburgh which sowed the seeds for the Widow. And thanks to my Welsh pals - you know who you are - the old homestead is once again yours, fellas. Thank you to David Bradley and the gang at SFX, not only for such a great mag, but also for inviting me to be a guest at their first Weekender. I thoroughly enjoyed myself chatting to fans of the Arrowhead books - and it helped immensely in the writing of this one. Thanks to my support mechanism of friends and family, who've kept me going through the writing of all the Hood adventures. And last, but never least, I want to thank my darling wife Marie, who helps me so much - not just workwise, but in life generally. We've shared this journey through the forest together, and for that I'll always be grateful. Love ya, sweetheart.
