The Iron Wolves (38 page)

As ever, there are a host of people to praise (and a host to curse, but we won’t go there today). I want to thank my wife Sonia for her strength and love. I want to thank my children, Joe and Olly, for always making me laugh and showing me the constant joy of being a father. I want to thank Ian Graham, as ever, for his constant support and camaraderie – the grizzled, stinking old goat. Thanks to Kevin and Lyndsay, for all the good times in the last year (and by God, I needed some of those). Angry Robots: Thanks to Marco, for commissioning this book and being one of the Good Guys; to Lee, for looking so very, very sexy (“Bring out the gimp” / “Gimp’s sleeping” / “Well, I guess you’re gonna have to wake him up, now, won’t you”); and Darren T, fellow NMA fanatic, gardening and real ale fan, for being such a good Anarchy contact. I’d like to thank “Mem”, whom inspired me with Aokigahara, and also for agreeing to be locked in shackles in the boot of my Jag (a very long story). And finally, I’d like to thank all the actors in my first feature film, the fun of making it helped bring me back from some very dark places.

Andy Remic is a British writer with a love of ancient warfare, mountain climbing and sword fighting. Once a member of the Army of Iron, he has since retired from a savage world of blood-oil magick and gnashing vachines, and works as an underworld smuggler of rare dog-gems in the seedy districts of Falanor. In his spare time, he writes out his fantastical adventures.
