Red Seas Under Red Skies: The Gentleman Bastard Sequence, Book Two (Gentleman Bastards 2)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Once more to the amazing Jenny, for being so many things over the years - girlfriend, best friend, first reader, constructive critic and, at long last, wife.
To Anne Groell, Gillian Redfearn and Simon Spanton, not only for being generally and specifically brilliant, but for not murdering me.
To Jo Fletcher, again with the not murdering me. Cheers!
To everyone at Orion Books who made my first (one can only hope) trip to England a joy, and tolerated me despite my wretched state of illness; especially to Jon Weir, faithful whip-cracker and guide.
To all the UK booksellers who bent over backward promoting and talking up The Lies of Locke Lamora when it was just a newborn baby book, not yet walking on its own two feet, so many thanks.
To Desiree, Jeff and Cleo.
To Deanna Hoak, Lisa Rogers, Josh Pasternak, John Joseph Adams, Elizabeth Bear, Sarah Monette, Jason McCray, Joe Abercrombie, Tom Lloyd, Jay Lake, GRRM and so many others. And to Rose, who’s short, but tolerable company nonetheless.
To Loki, Valkyrie, Peepit, Artemis and Thor, the best contingent of small household mammals ever assembled.
