After the Nightmare

The soul that sleeps inside the dragon is Caltaran.

If the people he harries awaken him, will he fight for them?

On the eve of Earth's greatest battle, Gaia is restless. Her people are about to participate in their most elaborate war plan yet. If they fail, the dragon will ravage Earth's surface beyond recovery. But if they succeed, their alliance with the Caltarans may open travel beyond their solar system - a possibility they never dared dream possible.

Unfortunately, saving Earth isn't the Caltaran Empire's only ambition. If Earth wants to maintain their alliance beyond a singular battle, that means participating in their elaborate political dance - a tangle from which Gaia and the rest of the delegation cannot easily disengage.

And what of the warrior they hope to awaken? Does he remember the years he spent decimating two different civilizations? Can anyone hope to deal with the trauma and suffering visited upon that enigmatic sleeper?

Will humanity's last desperate bid to save their world lead to salvation or destruction at the mechanical dragon's claws?
