For those readers who've been waiting to read the complete version for so long, I can only apologise one last time and say that I hope that it is worth the wait. Special thanks to Keith Brooke at Infinity Plus for taking on the book when it was in limbo (aptly enough given the story, maybe) and doing such a fantastic job with the editing and cover art–which you can see below for the first time.
