The Translators said that you're welcome, and now it's time for me to thank you. Fellow Tetrapod began as a toy to share with comic artist . The story grew as it was tossed between other friends and colleagues, and reached its full size and richness under the eyes of you, my gentle readers.

  Specifically, Tex Thompson and Kim Moravec juggled around character attributes, and Myungkeun Ryu and David Godfrey for their help with Quotidian anatomy. Steve Bein, Jeremy A. TeGrotenhuis, and S.B. Divya helped with the philosophies of the characters, and Jennifer Brinn told me about wacky visa hijinks. Anthony Docimo, Michael Valdivielso, Ian Arbués, Stevo Darkly, and Abby Goldsmith, Luke Johnson, and Mike Keesey gave splendid spec-evo suggestions.

  Even more specifically, Alex R. Howe read an early draft and helped immensely with the physics of travel by particle accelerator. Christine Yip and Carlo Soria shared their fond recollections of Beijing and character portraits of Chinese officials. Jeffrey Vos consulted me on Dutch life, food, and football rivalries. Paul Jenkins figured out what I was trying to say and told me.

  Finally, I'd like to thank Georgi Shopov for his sharp copy-editing and for his tireless help with creature-creation and the illustrations that began each chapter.
