Line 14:
* [[Burial in Space]]: In ''A Just Determination''
* [[Could Say It, But...]]: Sharpe gets quite huffy about detailing the things he can't do owing to his legal status (but someone else whose contact information he won't give, but it's in the directory, '''could''' do).
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: The reissues of the ''Stark's War'' books all show a soldier, presumably Stark, aiming a gun and wearing a '''sleeveless''' combination [[Bulletproof Vest|torso armor]] and equipment webbing. Bareheaded, too. The series is set on the Moon, so all combat, unless repelling a surprise attack, is actually done in an armored spacesuit.
* [[Famed in Story]]: Someone explains to Paul that he's this
* [[A Friend in Need]]: Most of the junior officers
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Stealth in Space]]: With extreme difficulty -- much discussed in ''A Just Determination''
* [[Unable to Cry]]: Carl Meadows in ''A Just Determination''
* [[Up to Eleven]]: In the third ''Stark's War'' book, the unit gets the word that the corrupt U.S. government has pressured the [[United Nations]] into declaring Stark and his troops international outlaws, not legitimate military. The sergeant handling intelligence points out that this means:
{{Quote|"Speaking of which, as I just reported, we're now at war with every country on Earth. That must be some kind of record."
Bev Manley nodded agreement. "I for one am proud. And with Ethan Stark leading us, this might be just the beginning. We may yet encounter an alien species and end up at war with them, too."}}
* [[Would Not Shoot a Civilian]]: in ''A Just Determination''
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Jen warns Paul he's read too many books about knights in shining armor
