Middleton's Prejudice (Middleton's Pride, Book 5)
Middleton’s Prejudice (Spineward Sectors: Middleton’s Pride, Book 5)
Stranded sixty thousand light-years from home with nothing but a handful of survivors and a ship that shouldn’t exist.
After a suicidal point-transfer using forbidden Ancient technology, Captain Tim Middleton and his ragged crew wake aboard the Prejudice—a sleek, carbon-composite warship of unknown origin, drifting in the heart of the lawless Gorgon Sectors. This is pirate country: six ruthless bosses, cutthroat free-agent fighter wings, and a hyper-rich asteroid belt where the only law is the one you enforce with guns.
With no hyper drive, no reinforcements, and enemies closing in, Middleton forges a desperate alliance with the unlikeliest partners imaginable: a hard-bitten pilot with her own vendetta, a one-eyed Tracto-an warrior who crushes skulls for breakfast, cybernetically uplifted Stalwart apes, savage feline hunt packs, and the enigmatic Prichtac—an alien species who never fully evolved past their prey mentality.
As a massive Imperial task force jumps in to crush the rebellion before it can spread, Middleton must weld these fractious factions into a fighting force, master the Prejudice’s impossible technology, and turn a suicide mission into a legend.
Because in the Gorgon Sectors, the only way home… is through the enemy.
Explosive space combat. Razor-sharp alliances. A galaxy-shaking secret that could rewrite the fate of two empires.
If you crave gritty military sci-fi, impossible odds, and characters who bleed, fight, and never quit, Middleton’s Prejudice delivers the goods. Continue the Middleton’s Pride saga—or jump in here for a pulse-pounding stand-alone thrill ride across the stars.
