Ride, Captain, ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed
—Skip Konte / Frank Konte / Mike Pinira
Ride Captain Ride

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade . . .
—Ringo Starr,
Octopus's Garden

And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
—Barry McGuire
Eve of Destruction

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it . . .

—Revelation 20:13



Author's Note:

This is a work of fiction.
As always, any resemblance to people living, dead, undead, or some stage in-between, is purely
coincidental. As for any resemblance to acts of God (or acts of the gods): the plot synopsis, story outline,
proposal,and primary research for Dead Easywere completed prior to January 2005.The fault lies not in
the stars, dear Brutus, but in ourselves . . .

Dead Easy was undertaken during a particularly tumultuous period of events that made the writing of
this book far different than the experience I envisioned in the original synopsis and proposal. I'd like to
thank the electronic 1st Readers Club whose feedback and supplemental input was most helpful during a
period of extraordinary change and limited access to my familiar resources and support. Any errors,
