Birth of Flux and Anchor A Prefatory Note from the Author This book is a novel created not out of whole cloth but rather out of research notes for another book. That book, Spirits of Flux and Anchor, has be published in three volumes by Tor Books (as the Soul Rider series, Books One, Two, and Three, the first under the original title, the second as Empires of Flux and Anchor, and the third as Masters of Flux and Anchor. Not only was it always intended that those volumes be read first, it was not my intention to write this book at all.However, the success of those three books, together with my inability to find a proper place to fully draw the background detail that created and shaped the world and its characters without violating continuity, and reader requests, convinced me that not only should this background be given, but that there was a pretty good (I hope) novel in it. It certainly beats dry appendices and genealogical charts.If you have not read the previous three books, it will not spoil that novel to read this one—this one is set twenty-six hundred years earlier and understandably doesn't have much dramatic continuity with the big three-volume novel nor much in the way of overlapping characters.
