* [[Sonic Stunner]]: The "supersonic whistle" weapon in "The Hunting Lodge".
* [[Terrible Ticking]]: As explained in "That Sweet Little Old Lady", telepaths invariably go mad from the voices. Most of them wind up comatose or raving -- the one notable exception being the little old lady of the title, who would be able to easily pass for sane if she didn't keep confiding in people that she's actually Queen Elizabeth I.
* [["Three Laws "-Compliant]]: Garrett played around with [[Isaac Asimov|Asimov's]] famous three laws in ''Unwise Child''.
* [[Tomato Surprise]]: "Despoilers of the Golden Empire" appears at first to be a standard bit of [[Space Opera]], until the final paragraph reveals an important detail the narrator has up to that point been working hard to conceal.
