This book is a work of fiction that was given to a pirate after it was retrieved from the future by exotically beautiful Eastern European girls.

Any lingering resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living, dead, or undead, is entirely coincidental and highly unlikely. — James Marshall

This is all part of the superstition, the folklore, the mania of the business, the fetishistic fuss ... Dying in the middle of a wo(rd), or three-fifths of the way through a nov(el).

Would you rather die in the middle of a book, and have some bastard finish it for you, or leave behind a work in progress that not a single bastard in the whole world was remotely interested in finishing? — Julian Barnes

Mothers hold close, fathers let go. Maybe that's the way of the world. — Lisa Gardner
