"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room. ..." —from Dr. Strangelove
From Kerensky's Stars came the Eight Hundred Beneath a banner of Truth and Righteous Light To lift up those who had suffered and to smite down With fearful vengeance those who had ruled In the name of Vanity or Greed. —The Remembrance, Passage 98, Verse 28
There will be a time when our descendants Return to reclaim what is our right. With honor swelling their hearts, they will crusade Against the dark emotions that have dimmed The Inner Sphere for so long. —The Remembrance, Passage 3, Verse 41

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close semblance to the first. —Attributed to General Alekandr Kerensky

As the insect feeds the bird, As the bird feeds the wolf, As the wolf feeds the smoke jaguar, So all give life to the warrior Who sheds his blood for their glory. —The Remembrance (Clan Smoke Jaguar), Passage 121, Verse 43
... A magnificent beast, the Smoke Jaguar. It is ferocity unbound, tenacity without limit. Once it locks its powerful jaws around the throat of its prey, it never lets go. The greatest of warriors might be shamed by comparing himself to such fierce courage.... —Nicholas Kerensky, Birth of a New Society
The role of the warrior is to be more than the highest of castes. It is to protect the weak, defend the innocent, to be more than just a mere soldier as in ages past. No, a warrior is more than the genetics that have formed him or her. They are to be the embodiment of my vision, a new direction for our species. —Franklin Osis, Founder of the Smoke Jaguar Clan
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. —Winston Churchill

This book is dedicated to a number of people in my life who are important. First and foremost, my family—beautiful and loving wife Cindi, dynamo daughter Victoria, and adventurous son Alexander. If not for my family, I would not be who I am today, nor would I try to be more than I am.
To Dan Q. Plunkett and Cullen Q. Tilman of Enterprise Management, two remarkable men in this or any century. From them, I have learned to master the mistakes of the past—and in their own way they helped forge Trent into being, though I doubt that they knew it. Kari Pardoe, as well as Trisha and Sarah Miller deserve some mention as my bloodkin.
Exodus Road is also dedicated to Central Michigan University, where I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees. What I learned there was beyond classroom and the many fond memories of the basement of Grawn Hall and the Malt Shop are always with me.
