I offer deep gratitude and my heartfelt thanks to my beautiful wife, the artist Page Lee Hufty. She always believed in Nick's story and it was only with her encouragement that I could have completed Nick's journey. This book is lovingly dedicated to her.

Alex Hufty Griswold

For my dear stepson Alex whose great love of boats and the sea is a role model for Nick, I thank you.

Alex also stars as the model for Nick in all of Russ Kramer's paintings so, in effect, Alex IS Nick McIver!

John Shea,
Actor and Narrator of Audio Series

A fine and brilliant actor, writer and director, John has been a friend of many years. His recordings of all the Alex Hawke books are remarkable, and demonstrate his virtuosity and talent far better than any words I might offer here.

Byrdie Bell

For my lovely daughter, the actress Byrdie Bell, I offer unending thanks. At the age of eight, she provided the inspiration and the motivation for me to write this, my first novel.

Russ Kramer,
Book Illustrator

For Russ Kramer, who came to me as if by magic when I was searching for the 'New N.C. Wyeth', illustrator of Treasure Island. His work
is stunning and I think his art will bring Nick of Time alive for many readers for many years to come."
