VERY good, let me tell you. I'd first like to thank Evan for creating what I feel is to be a Bond cover above and beyond. It's simply outstanding and was taken aback when I first saw it.

Also to Fenna, Chris, and Thom for their valued help in choosing the stories and finalizing the collection. A terrific team effort. To all those involved in the contest, whether your story is in the collection or not - I think it goes to show that the CBn main page and forums are without a doubt the best place for Bond fanfiction.
