Author's Note and Acknowledgments<br />

My particular thanks go to:<br />

Mark Booth, Hannah Black, Anna Cherrett and the whole team at<br />

Century, Charlie Conrad, Claire Johnson, Chava Boylan, Becky Cole,<br />

and the whole Broadway Books team in New York, Bill Rose for his outstanding<br />

picture research, Igor Witkowski for taking me to the Wenceslas<br />

Mine and for sharing his tremendous insight into German secret weapons,<br />

Tom Agoston for his groundbreaking book Blunder!, the Schauberger<br />

family—Frau Ingeborg, Joerg and Ingrid—for their kindness and<br />

hospitality at Bad Ischl, Brue Richardson for her constancy, serenity and<br />

guidance, Barry and Fiona Shaw for putting up with me (and the rest)<br />

during a myriad of writing weekends, Dr. Patrick G. Bailey and Charlee<br />

Trantino for their sterling work on the index, and Mark Lucas for being<br />

a damn fine friend and agent.<br />

Last, but not least, I would like to thank Ali, my family and hers. This<br />

book would have been quite impossible without them.
