his work is dedicated to fathers and sons in general,
but to four men in particular.
To Keith Herber:
a mentor who departed this world unex-
pectedly. He believed in me, and a man as close to me as a
brother. We struggle, now and always, to be worthy of that.
To Pedro Lebron:
my father-in-law, who passed away dur-
ing the writing of this book. He battled a demon raging inside
him and ultimately lost. I’m sorry we couldn’t save you.
To Oscar Rios, senior:
my father, who thankfully is still with
me in this life. We may never really understand one another,
but you have my love and I am proud to be your son.
To Zakary Rios:
my only son. We may never really under-
stand one another either, but know you are one of the greatest
joys in my life. I love you and am proud to be your father.
aliquando vicemus. To my friend, partner and publisher,
Tom Lynch, thank you for your strength, faith and reminding
me how we roll. My thanks go out to the great Scott David
Aniolowski and Kevin Ross, for their advice and inspiration.
To Ruth Downie, author of the
Gaius Petreius Ruso
series and
Mike Duncan of The History of Rome Podcast for making

Hoc erat optandum munus—quo munere functus,

Apocalypsis 13.16
