No Middle Ground

No Middle Ground (Middleton's Pride Book 1) A simple patrol. An obsolete cruiser. A captain who refuses to bend. When the Empire abandoned the Spineward Sectors, it left the frontier to rot. For lifelong tactical officer Tyrone "Tim" Middleton, a one-month "wave the flag" border patrol aboard the aging Pride of Prometheus was supposed to be his last mission before retirement. It became a war. Outgunned by pirate corvettes, ambushed by banned Starfire missiles, and hit with a Liberator torpedo carrying a designer bioweapon, Middleton and his green crew are thrust into a brutal fight for survival. In the shadow of a gas giant's spectacular rings of ice and iron, he faces an impossible choice: follow the letter of the law and let evil escape… or cross the line and do what must be done. No mercy. No retreat. No middle ground. Packed with pulse-pounding ship-to-ship combat, desperate boarding actions, and unflinching command decisions, No Middle Ground launches the Middleton's Pride series — eight explosive novels (soon nine) in the bestselling Spineward Sectors universe. If you love Honor Harrington, The Lost Fleet, and heroic characters, strap in. Captain Middleton and the Pride are just getting started.
