Author Description

"It's all come down to this. A war for control of all civilizations, pitting organic life against an ancient evil that knows no fear, no kindness, and no limits. Calamity is loose, and it's been busy learning -- from its time with Netty to running wild among the stars, the ultimate evil seeks nothing less than complete dominion over all space and time. And for Calamity, life is in the way. Van and his crew will enlist old friends, new friends, and the very beings he sought to protect from his first days as a rookie Peacemaker, fighting for the dignity of those who had no voices during the dark years of a corrupt guild. It all comes down to this. And one way or another -- it all ends here. From the fields of Iowa to deepest space, the final conflict will unfold with only one thing certain: Not everyone will survive, but Van will give his last breath to make certain that when future generations speak his name, they will always remember one fact. Until the end, he gave it all for justice, no matter the cost." -- Back cover.
