* ''Dick Simon'' duology (1998-1999) takes place in [[The Verse]] where the majority of humanity has left Earth for other worlds, taking not only their cities but also typical human failings with them. Shortly after the Exodus, Earth has been cut off from the galactic community by persons unknown.
** ''Wind's Shadow'', Dick Simon's warrior name obtained through blood and sweat on the planet Tayahat, populated by tribal four-armed [[Human Aliens]]. After being [[Raised Byby Wolves|raised by them]], Dick leaves to join the interstellar special forces, using a mix of the skills gained both in the jungles of Tayahat and the classrooms of the academy. He becomes one of the best agents, often sent on the most perilous tasks, such as preventing an escape on a prison world or stopping a rogue general on the planet Latmerica.
** ''Earth's Shadow''. It has been 300 years since humanity has settled the stars. The inhabited worlds are joined by [[Subspace or Hyperspace|hyperspace]] tunnels. But there are Closed Worlds, one of which is [[Earth-That-Was|Old Earth]], humanity's cradle. It is up to Dick Simon to travel to Earth and try to set things right. Surviving what is now a [[Crapsack World]] will require Dick to use every ounce of his training.
