Please don't give up on The Measure of Man; the story has not been abandoned. I'm still writing on Chapter 38 (and 39 and 40). I'm also in the middle of a major revision. I'm re-arranging, revising, and expanding the first eighteen or so chapters. So far, I've revised 14 of the first 18. The remaining chapters will be slightly revised and expanded. At some future date, Version 2 of the story will replace Version 1 below. Please be patient with me. Real life does detract from writing occasionally. I'll give you either the revised chapters or some new chapters to read as soon as possible.
