This third book in the Dragon Trilogy begins where The Dragon’s Harvest left off as Nelson accepts and mourns the death of his brave android friend, Botany, who was so nearly human that Nelson found it hard to remember this was not the case. Along with his new love, Alene, the Empress of the Great Tribe, and his daughter, Liana, Nelson wants only to move on with his life. But the realization that Ira Bilis is still alive and in a headlong rush to steal the Complex away from Botany’s creator has left Nelson and his friends scrambling to become battle ready once again. Ira’s intentions have been known and feared by humans and aliens alike. A dynamic leader will need to be chosen if freedom is to be won from the farmers. While Nelson and his friends bring everything they have to the fight, Ira stays one step ahead of them to thwart their plans.
