=== Tropes the cycle provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Absent Aliens]]: Averted. There are loads and loads of them. The only problem is that lack of reasonably cheap [[Faster -Than -Light Travel]] makes it's a pain in the ass to communicate with them.
* [[After the End]]: Hinted abouth the Earth's society in the first novel, explicitly said in the second.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: Despite describing pretty much the same society on the Earth, as in othe books, the ''Cor Serpentis'' is explicitly a [[First Contact]] story and no Great Circle is ever mentioned.
* [[Faster -Than -Light Travel]]: Only quite-slower-then-light (up to 0.8 c) travels in the first novel, near-light in the ''Cor Serpentis'' and full FTL (but still very complicated) in the ''Bull's Hour''. All of them require very much effort.
* [[No Poverty]]: It's [[Utopia]].
* [[Utopia]]: The Earth society itself.
