To all the wonderful creators of the Steampunk universe, especially Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, and all who followed where they lead.
John and Caitlín Matthews
To all the great ones who inspired my childhood with their visions: Chris Foss, Patrick Woodroffe, Frank Hampson and Jim Burns, to name but a few. And to my wife Melanie and our Anabelle, who inspire me every day!
