FOREWORD

This is the fourth book in a planned series loosely based on a collection of short stories written for a monthly fan magazinefrom 1988 to 1995. My stories featured a character named Antonia Bellero, whose creation was a homage to numerous science fiction and horror films and novels I had read over the years. The result was a string of epic adventures of espionage, fellowship, betrayal, murder, conspiracy, political intrigue and a host of other snippets about the human condition within the confines of a rigidly defined universe established by precedent; one which did not leave much room for innovation. I found it challenging to introduce a character which could exist credibly within that universe without violating the basic rules.
