Line 14:
[[John Ringo]] was asked, at Dragoncon 2010, if there will be another book. He stated that there would not be another one on Prince Roger. Instead, he and David Weber would work on a [[Prequel]] series that will show the founding of the Empire of Man. However, he has recently noted that he is writing a synopsis for a fifth book about Roger.

* [[Aborted Arc]]: [[Punny Name|Ima Hooker]], amongst other characters, were given some importance in the first book. They're [[Anyone Can Die|slaughtered within minutes]] of the second book.
* [[Action Girl]]: Naturally, all female marines. (They do come from a society with gender-equality, after all.) More notable would be the few Mardukan females that qualify: Sena and Pedi, two of the most deadly martial artists in the series.
Line 166:

** Captain Pahner seems to know [[Rudyard Kipling]]'s ''Barrack-Room Ballads'' by heart, and can find a Kipling quote to fit almost any situation.
** [[The Lord of the Rings|Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn!]]
** "[[Hogan's Heroes|Schultzes]]," guards who can be trusted to see, do, and hear nothing. Subverted, since they ignore atrocities, not heroic hijinks.
** "[[Kraken and Leviathan|Fish]] [[The Princess Bride|of unusual size]]."
