By Kate Macleod

The Chai Makhani Trio know the secret to save Adghal. But without the help of the rebellion, it means nothing.

They have found the rebellion's last stronghold. To their dismay, having seen the might of the Commonwealth military, they know all too well that the rebellion stands no chance. Not in a fight.

But Alextra knows another way. If only she can convince the heads of the rebellion to trust her.

And if Koltn Ward stays away long enough for her to try.

"The Final Showdown" is the eleventh episode in the ongoing monthly science fiction adventure serial TALES OF THE CHAI MAKHANI TRIO.
