Afterward: Thank You's and Credits

This was the stopping point that made the most sense without going over the word limit of the story. This was a significantly more difficult story to write than my Pliniad one, but if you like it I will happily continue it. I have the rest of the story outlined out, and Kente and Anh have two more days in hell. The next part of the story is a Cold War Thriller, so thematically it makes sense to pause here.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me with the story (in no particular order)

My wife for her advice and consultation on 90s Vietnam and Saigon

My friends in the ████████████ for their experience.

To Kissinger, Baudrillard, Rosseau, PKD, Frank Herbert, Satan, and Hobbes whose insights into modern politics made this book possible.

To the CIA declassified library for the documents I modeled the Executive Summaries and Briefings on.

Special Thanks to the following individuals on HF:
*MaiCosplay for reviewing early drafts of the story and advise
*Literate_Manul for suffering through what I could only call a "beta read" of the story.
*SNWO for his advice on worldbuilding
*To the bakery for their worldbuilding ideas and support
*To Bubbles for their professional grade criticism on my first five chapters.
*Caeli for consultation on Helicopter scenes.
*To a friend who has asked to remain anonymous for his amazing concept art
*To another anonymous friend for his critiques on my outline.

Thank you all for reading!
