The future was built on a promise. Now it's being put on trial.
Kendra Cassidy didn't just help launch humanity to the stars-she redefined what it could become. But as her influence grows, so does the resistance. Political rivals, corporate powers, and entire governments are beginning to ask a question no one can afford to ignore:
What, exactly, is Kendra Cassidy?
When legal challenges escalate into a coordinated effort to strip her of authority-and possibly her rights-Kendra finds herself fighting a battle she can't win with ships or strategy. Every alliance fractures under scrutiny. Every victory becomes evidence. And the system she helped reshape begins to turn against her, piece by piece.
Because this isn't about territory.
It isn't about power.
It's about whether the person who changed the future is still allowed to be considered human.
Blending high-stakes space politics, military rebellion, found family, and fiercely human ideals, The Measure of Humanity explores what it takes to defy an empire-and build something better.
Took me some time to read, but this author has never disappointed me, and this book is beyond amazing!
I loved the relationship between Cass and Ken. I loved getting sucked into their world. I appreciated the development by including their family and that their journey was the story's main focus.
I would recommend this book to any sci-fi lover!
This space opera has epic space stuff going on (setting up a new mining colony!), espionage (Artemis conglomerate is still being a pill), and some courtroom drama (are genetically enhanced humans allowed full legal rights?).
