What if something you had been awaiting for more than five hundred years happened—and you completely missed it?

When a ragtag band of servants decides “enough is enough” and rises up to overthrow the oppressive Hammers of Time, things don’t go exactly as planned. Defeating deadly Murdertooths and passing out of a realm where time runs backward are only the beginning of the struggle. Bringing to justice the most powerful Time-Hammer of all will require a journey into the forbidden underground realm of the Night Tollers. Is it necessary to destroy what the Tollers hold most dear in order for hate to be defeated, and to bring the Time-Hammers to a final end? The battle must be joined and all must stand and face the enemy they fear most, even if it is within.

The stakes are truly high, and this collection of lunatics, rebels, and power-players, makes the battle hard fought and the outcome unpredictable. The uncommon heroes and villains—as unusual as the landscapes they inhabit—make this a truly memorable tale. Action-packed and filled with gripping suspense, the balance of deadly serious with the delightfully ridiculous creates a fable for our times.

No Middle Ground is Book One of Seven in the ongoing Middleton’s Pride military space opera series, set in the 14-books-and-counting Spineward Sectors universe written by the Wachter brothers, Luke Sky and Caleb. When the Empire abandoned the Spineward Sectors to their own devices, it was left to an underappreciated few like lifelong military man Tyrone ‘Tim’ Middleton and his crew of misfits aboard the aged Pride of Prometheus to keep their corner of the galaxy safe from forces which would tear it apart. This action-packed, character-driven space opera series is full of ship battles, space marine slugfests, interstellar politics, and at fourteen total books already written in the universe–including four in this particular sub-series–this team of author brothers is just getting started on this epic saga.

Many take for granted a general meaning of the phrase “do the right thing.” But Dr. Arthur Lauretano, in DO THE RIGHT THING: A SURGEON’S APPROACH TO LIFE, shows the importance of taking into account context, perspective, and our individual strengths and talents in determining what is truly right for each individual and situation. Lauretano learns from expected sources such as teachers and colleagues, but also from unexpected ones—musicians, cranky patients, IV-drug users, and those suffering from terminal cancer—each of whose influence has shaped his unique outlook on career, home life, community and global conditions.
