The Middle of Nowhere - Softcover
Synopsis
With an introduction by Spider Robinson
The Morthans were physically and mentally superior. Descended from humans, they were now, literally, more-than” human and considered the human race to be little better than animals. They would stop at nothing to conquer the remaining human-controlled worlds.
Docked for repairs after a harrowing battle with a Morthan ship, Jonathan Korie and his crew discover they have a Morthan imp aboard a Morthan weapon so quick they have no chance of catching it, so clever they have no hope of outsmarting it and so deadly they have no choice but to try.

About the Author
David Gerrold is the author of the Hugo and Nebula award–nominated The Man Who Folded Himself and When HARLIE Was One, books that quickly established him in the hard science fiction genre during the 1970s. He also wrote “The Trouble with Tribbles” episode of Star Trek, voted the most popular Star Trek episode, and is the author of the popular Star Wolf, Dingillian, and Chtorr series. He lives in Northridge, California.
From Booklist
Gerrold's growing assortment of military sf serials spawns yet another sequel, this time to The Voyage of the Star Wolf (1990). Here, the crew of the faster-than-light Star Wolf receives staggering news that their battleship is slated to be decommissioned and cannibalized for parts. As Captain Hardesty lies hovering near brain death, Commander John Korie takes charge, vowing to make the Star Wolf battle again by removing all traces of deadly nanotech weapons placed onboard by Morthan assassins. That mission becomes stymied, unfortunately, when the crew discovers a stowaway Morthan "imp" --an ingeniously adaptive biocomputer bent on destroying both the Star Wolf and Stardock. Gerrold elevates his story line above standard battle-driven fare by focusing on the intense war of wits between the Star Wolf's fully dimensional human crew and its unique alien adversary. He produces intelligent and entertaining hard sf that remains blessedly free of the militaristic stereotypes rampant in other examples of the subgenre. Carl Hays
