  Counterplay is a work of fiction. Apart from well-known actual people, events,
  and locales that figure in the narrative, all names, characters, places, and
  incidents are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
  Any resemblances to current events or locales, or to living persons, is
  entirely coincidental.
