Measure of a Hero, by Blaine Lee Pardoe, is the first novel about Archer Christifori's experiences during the Federated Commonwealth Civil War.

The novel was made available on BattleCorps on 04 February 2011 as a PDF file (text only, without cover, pictures, or any other interior artwork except for the usual BattleCorps frame graphics). The PDF copy includes a disclaimer stating that it was created from a pre-final edition text that might differ from the printed version and that canon-wise, the print edition trumps the PDF edition.
