AFTERWORD

Chapter 83

Chapter 92

Overview

This is an author's note rather than a chapter of the novel. Matt Dinniman addresses readers, thanks them for their support, and pays tribute to his father who passed away during the book's writing.

Summary

The author thanks readers for their continued support and requests honest reviews to help support someone in need. He reflects on his father's death occurring during the writing of the book, specifically around chapter 45, and shares that his father was a decorated military veteran (Colonel James Ian Dinniman, 1938-2023) who was the opposite of Carl's father character. Dinniman notes that while these books may fade from cultural memory, they represent a legacy alongside his own children, and he uses this space to honor his late father.
