Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques.

For the sky may be the limit, but her desire to possess goes beyond it. Yet one pathetic truth remains—she still foolishly holds out for Gideon Regis who has severed her hands before she ever had the chance. After all, Gideon is nothing without his rigid morals.
