No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner except in the case of quotations embodied in critical articles and reviews.

Kings of the High Frontier is a work of fiction. All names, places, and institutions (both public and private) are either completely imaginary or used fictitiously.

There have been, are, and will be many attempts -- some high profile, some clandestine -- to break the bonds of Earth. Any resemblance to actual people -- living or dead -- or to actual events, locales, secret projects, or high-level conspiracies is entirely coincidental. Any resemblance to actual governments and their institutions is purely malicious. -- VK
