A House United

Divided by empires. Forged by vengeance. United by blood.

Captain Melissa McKnight has dragged the shattered crew of the Pride across the galaxy on nothing but grit and a dying man's visions. Now, aboard the rebuilt warship Rainbow, she leads a desperate sprint into the forbidden Gorgon Sectors—straight into the teeth of an Imperial ambush.

While McKnight fights for every inch of progress, Corporal Lu 'Fengxian' Bu storms the Empire's most secure prisons with nothing but a telescopic pike and a list of senators who must be "persuaded." One wrong move and the entire political house of cards collapses. Meanwhile, the warlord Nikomedes hunts a god across a frozen death world, and a collective of awakened droids upgrade the Rainbow into a weapon the Empire has never seen.

Old enemies become uneasy allies. Ancient technology stirs inside a man who may no longer be human. And on a throne of skulls, a legend waits for the man he would have made his son.

As Imperial battleships close in and the galaxy's most dangerous game reaches its endgame, one truth remains:

A house divided cannot stand, but a house united is unstoppable.

Explosive action, brutal hand-to-hand combat, ruthless political intrigue, and unbreakable loyalty collide in the eighth explosive installment of Caleb Wachter's bestselling Spineward Sectors: Middleton's Pride saga.

The Pride is back. And this time they're not asking permission.
