Untitled, unsigned introduction to the novelette.

Essay starts: "The editorial team of Gardner Dozois and George R.R. Martin was assembling an anthology called Warriors and they wanted me to do something for it. This was in 2007, when I had been writing science fiction for more than fifty years and was getting very tired of it, and of writing in general."

Essay finishes: "I wrote the story relatively quickly and with considerable pleasure in December, 2007, and George and Gardner published it in their anthology in March, 2010." [Source: PR# 834559]
