Up The Middle (Spineward Sectors- Middleton's Pride Book 2)

After returning from an unexpectedly lengthy tour in Sectors 23 & 24, Captain Middleton and his crew discovered just how much had happened in their absence. Admiral Montagne, having dealt with the greatest pirate threat known to the Spineward Sectors in recent history, was less than enthusiastic about the circumstances surrounding the Pride of Prometheus' return to headquarters.



However, given the sensitive -- and potentially game-changing -- nature of Middleton's previous mission, the Pride of Prometheus' Captain was ordered to complete that mission as quickly. But the state of the MSP's human resources prompted Admiral Montagne to make a series of personnel transfers which could very well cripple the Pride's ability to carry out her mission.



It will take some creative thinking to restock the ship with crew, deal with the battle damage she previously suffered, and get the ship back into fighting shape. But creative thinking is something which Middleton and his crew have become exceedingly good at, and before long the aged cruiser finds her bow pointed at the far side of Sector 24.



Unbeknownst to Middleton, interests with which he and crew recently became acquainted have plans of their own for the Pride of Prometheus. Will Captain Middleton's people be able to turn the tables on their adversaries yet again, or will the Pride of Prometheus finally show her age and falter?



With their backs to the wall, the Pride's crew discovers that the simplest course is often best...which is why Middleton and his people hit their enemies hard, fast, and straight up the middle.
