They were silent, but it was an easy silence, and the only sound was the inhalation of one of them as he sucked smoke from a glowing cigar one final time, dropped the stogie, and crushed it out with a single step from a massive boot. Two men waited in the cool shelter of a cave, watching the silvery serpentine object. The swollen sun’s rays glinted harshly on the metallic train as it twined, snake-like, soaring through the badlands toward its final destination, where it would disgorge its precious cargo. Movement cut through this barren desert silvery and sleek, it looked almost like water flowing through a valley, but it was nothing so natural or pleasant. There was not a single cloud in the fiercely blue sky to mitigate the intensity of its gaze, and the promise of relief in the form of nightfall was many hours away. The sun was a merciless yellow eye glaring down at a landscape of rock, hard-baked Earth, the hardiest of scrub brushes and the most stubborn of life-forms. A special nod of thanks to Paul Newman, who led a life that serves as an inspiration: a life dedicated to his craft and to helping others. You are all fantastic! I look forward to many more projects.Īnd finally, it’s dedicated to “Butch and Sundance,” Paul Newman and Robert Redford, whose cheerful presences helped guide its writing. I must also thank the wonderful folks at Blizzard with whom it is always a privilege to interact, to my former editor Jamie Cerota Costas, and my current editor Ed Schlesinger. This book is dedicated to the legions of StarCraft fans, who waited so long and so patiently. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data is available.
