for Peter Hammill, in admiration.

Senses dimmed in semisentience, only wheeling through this plane, only seeing fragmented images,

prematurely curtailed by the brain, but breathing, living, knowing in some measure at least the soul which

roots the matter of both beauty and the beast. . . .

House of Ch'in built the Wall to keep them apart,

House of Han has to keep the beacons alight,

Beacons alight and they never go out

For these expeditions have never an end:

In the line, hand to hand, they'll die the same,

The horses will fall, call to Heaven their pain,

The crows and the kites pick their riders' guts

And fly to dead trees with the bits in their beaks.. . .

—Li Po, We Fought South of the Walls,

EIGHTH CENTURY A.D.

Life is cheap, flesh plentiful.

—COMMON SAYING, 2210 A.D.

Acknowledgments

Thanks, as ever, gotomy editors, for their patience and continuing enthusiasm: to Carolyn Caughey at

NEL (for saying no), to Jeanne Cavelos at Dell (another fan-turned-editor), and to Alyssa Diamond

(super-mum and editor!) and John Pearce at Doubleday (Canada). Also to my ex-editors, Brian DeFiore

and Nick Sayers, good friends both.

For thoughtful readings of early drafts (and for beer and friendship), I have to thank Vikki Lee France and

Steve Jeffery, Andy Sawyer and Mike Cobley.

Thanks also to Sylvie and Nicholas Chapuis, to Michael Iwoleit and all my other translators, and to

Stewart Robinson, Robert Gillies, and Alan Martin—collectively known as Tranceport—for the cuts of

"A Spring Day at the Edge of the World" and "Fire and Ice." I'm looking forward to the complete Chung

Kuo album!

To Robert Carter, best of friends and historical novelist supreme, may Talwar reap the huge rewards it

deserves. And to Andy "The Slut" Muir, thanks for the tapes and see you in the downstairs bar of Moon

on the Green!

To Brian Griffin, first-line critic, a huge merci for all you did this time out. Your input was invaluable.

Huge thanks must also go to the players and management of Queens Park Rangers Football Club—Gerry

Francis, Ray Wilkins, Les Ferdinand, Clive Wilson, David Bardsley, Andy Sinton, Alan McDonald,

Darren Peacock, Andrew Impey, Bradley Allen, Ian Holloway, Gary Penrice, Rufus Brevett, Danny

Maddix, Simon Barker, Tony Roberts, Jan Stejskal, Dennis Bailey, and the rest of the

boys—for adding hugely to the Tao of my life. See you Saturday!

To my darling wife, Susan, and to my beautiful girls, Jessica, Amy, and Georgia, much love

and thanks for making my life so rich.

Writing a multivolumed novel like this involves a lot of sitting and thinking, and what would I

do without the background of music? This time out special thanks go to Tangerine Dream,

I.Q., H. E Zinker, Tranceport, and the Guo Brothers.

Finally, to John Patrick Kavanagh, buddy and collaborator, here's a big Kan pei! to

EMPIRE OF ICE. See you on the shore...
