This book is essentially a love story to all the Sci-Fi that kept me going, especially Dune. I'm Dudley, like the one from Harry Potter. I live in New York and started writing this at 1:51 AM on a crappy desktop computer.

To all of you a few months in the future who are reading it now that the series is finished, I hope you stick with me.

To all of you a few years in the future re-reading this for your second or third time. Thank you.
