Against The Middle
(2015)(The third book in the Spineward Sectors: Middleton's Pride series)
A novel by Caleb Wachter
After emerging victorious against the Rim Fleet detachment sent to destroy them, Captain Middleton and the Pride of Prometheus' crew point the bow at the heart of the enemy stronghold with a unified purpose: to destroy these Imperial interlopers and erase their subversive plans to conquer the Spineward Sectors before the first of the Raubach Clan's dominos can fall.
But their ship has been through more than even her Captain was aware, and before they can break their orbit of Capital the crew's morale will once again be tested by an unexpected change in berthing assignments -- one which will have a domino effect of its own on certain members of the crew.
Their journey will take them beyond the Rim of the Spineward Sectors, and the first leg of that journey brings them face to face with evidence of a truth so profound it challenges Imperial propaganda at the most fundamental level. But this evidence also leads Captain Middleton to a path which just might grant the Pride and her crew a path to victory over their enemy -- an enemy which outnumbers them fifty warships to one!
It will take guile, it will take valor, it will take grit, and most of all it will take the best ship in the Spineward Sectors to carry this brave crew to the field on which one of the Spine's most important battles will take place.
Before the end, relationships will be tested, new friends will be made, old ones will be called upon, and the price of victory will require the ultimate sacrifice -- and perhaps much, much more -- from the Pride's crew.
Genre: Science Fiction
