Gideon is called as a witness to New Bastion, where the treaty that opened the stars to humanity may force all-out war with the Ibarras or turn the rest of the galaxy against Earth. Beyond the edge of known space, an old enemy readies a vendetta that can only be ended with humanity's extinction. The Dragon Award winning series continues in the action packed The True Measure!.
