In this action packed 6th book in the series, Justin manages to convert a war missile to a space delivery vehicle, in order to sell his anti-gravity units to advanced civilizations. The successful space mission results in Justin being offered the title of Duke of Moxon, by the King. However, Justin waits until he's offered the title of Duke of Averon. Moxon is a relatively impoverished area of southern Averon that become Justin's assignment. They grow cotton in Moxon. However, Justin knows of a 'royal cotton,' grown in the South Continent. Justin and some volunteers from 'The Institute for Cotton Research' then fly down to the South Continent to grab some royal cotton. They get the cotton, but Justin has to be abandoned in a jungle full of hostile natives. Justin outruns the natives and, in the process, finds what appears to be two star gates. He also finds a Glyon sigil. The find reinforces the idea that an ancient high mountain civilization was at least alien ruled. He then works on his duties as King and also works on developing sword skills, using the sword he obtained from the temple in the jungle. Then, trouble erupts in Zaya. A pretender to the throne of Zaya wants a war. Justin easily defeats the pretender's army, but then has to face a sword fight with the pretender.

Justin then sets up sales of Zayan products in Averon. In the process he meets some Averonean film stars. The refugees from Ruanth are now pursued by a legendary demon.
