"A Matter of Proportion" by Anne Walker is a science fiction novel written in the late 20th century. The story explores themes of identity, human resilience, and the extraordinary lengths individuals will go to in the face of overwhelming challenges.

Esterbrook and his comrades as they undertake dangerous missions in a war-torn landscape.
