Will the people of Gelland be able to escape their beleaguered town before itchy-fingered forces of Galt demolish their only way of escape?
James repairs a familiar model of appropriated mechs under the cover of Dr. Livsey’s communications blackout. Abacti lies to another Lieutenant, Wisp finds family at the center of the Starowner resistance front, Juster puts down an illegal Katangan special forces operative, and Grey goes gaga for a guandao.
The battle completed and the people saved the crew of the High and Dry make a graceful exit from Balleau, ready to return victorious to Tartakover.
