* The “chucksters” at Titans Arena are a reference to Super Mario Sunshine, in one of the secret worlds there are Piantas who will throw Mario in the direction that they're facing when talked to, before throwing Mario, some of them will say the line “I'm a chuckster.”
* The moon Gyaros is named after a small, unpopulated Greek island which served as a prison and place of exile in the early Roman Empire and later again from 1948 to 1974.
* In the mansion from chapter fourteen there is a table with a typewriter and two ink ribbons on it, this is a reference to Resident Evil.
Thanks for reading! Alex.

Acknowledgments
A book is not written by one person, you see this book was written by both myself and my brother Alex. But all jokes aside The Mice Eat Iron would not exist as it does today without the help and dedication of some very special people. I’d like to thank our parents first and foremost for always providing steadfast support and encouragement of our creative endeavours, there’s no way Gyaros would exist without their stoic resilience in putting up with us all these years.
I’d also like to thank Anna Kozielska for reading through each chapter as it was written and providing invaluable advice, suggestions and encouragement.
And finally I’d like to thank all the wonderful readers of my blog who read through the first five chapters as I posted them and shared their opinions and feedback, giving us the confidence to keep going and see the book through to the end.
Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to making this happen!
Rohan.
