                        Thanks to my Lord, for giving me the inspiration 
                    to write Optimus 4, and to my beautiful wife Susan and children 
                    Ashley, Anthony, Ryan and Byran for their loving support, 
                    without which this novel could not have been completed.  
                     
                    In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock 
                    in the morning, day after day. 
                    --- F. Scott Fitzgerald  
                     
                    Let's pray that the human race never escapes Earth to spread 
                    its iniquity elsewhere.  --- C.S. Lewis
