Most publishers don't like prologues, but this short one that opens the story of Mind Duel, was just so good. Do you agree?

Prologue
The small boat rocked gently in a peaceful sea. She was tied to a buoy that marked the site of a submerged data collection station just below the surface in the shallow waters off Destin, Florida. Although the sky was cloudy, the winds were calm. Kim was a little concerned that Bluetooth hadn’t shown up just yet. The dolphin had missed the previous rendezvous time, and Kim missed the time before that, when the weather had been bad. They agreed that they would meet at these regular intervals, but that attendance was not mandatory. And dolphins don’t keep time very well. Bluetooth was the one who had the idea to meet at this location whenever possible at the noon hour following each full moon. So here waited Kim, hopeful, worried, contemplative. How had she arrived at this moment in her life, this moment in their lives, two species interconnected mentally, emotionally, to an extent beyond anything Kim had ever imagined possible?

Dr. Kim Lake waits at the rendezvous point on a calm, cloudy day for Bluetooth, the dolphin, to show.
