Rebecca and Peter for putting up with my total lack of grammar, punctuation, spelling and my somewhat loose perception of linear time as it pertains to deadlines. Nick Chatwin and Muhmud Quayum for their help. And my family for their support. I'd like to remind everyone that while talent borrows and genius steals, New Adventure writers get it off the back of a lorry, no questions asked. Notes on the Pronunciation of Proper Nouns !x is an aspirated consonant pronounced by clicking the side of the tongue against upper right-hand teeth. !q is an aspirated consonant pronounced by 'clucking' the tongue. !c is an aspirated consonant pronounced by placing the tongue against the front teeth and sucking them explosively back. a is pronounced ah as in car. e is pronounced eh as in leg. i is pronounced ee as in leek or keep. o is pronounced like the a in walk. u is pronounced oo as in look or cook. Stress is on the second syllable from last: aM!xitsa is pronounced am- !xit-sah; saRa!qava is pronounced sah-rah- !qah-vah. I have chosen to use the simplified (personal) versions of people's names throughout the text as the more complex (use) designations would be cumbersome and serve little purpose. An example is the drone aM!xitsa, whose use designation incorporates the diminutive of his construction point and generation; thus: aM!xit-i!xa!xi-sa!Qa!cisa.
