There's also a prequel novel called ''The Omega Cage''. A few of the characters from the main series appear in it, but the plot is unrelated. It deals with the titular prison, and the only people to ever escape from it.

* [[Space Station]]: Eighty-seven of them, generally referred to as 'wheelworlds', regardless of the actual station design.
* [[Virtual Training Simulation]]: The Matador school has a room with a holographic projection system, used for practicing various bodyguarding scenarios.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: In ''Black Steel'', it's revealed that Sleel's parents (especially his father) have been incredibly dismissive of everything he's accomplished, largely because none of it involves botany or genetic engineering. He still tries to get their approval when he visits them during the course of the book.
