Line 203:
* [[Vladimir Vasilyev]]'s novel ''The Black Relay Race'', while not a direct sequel to his ''Death or Glory'' novel, takes place in the same 'verse. However, unlike ''DoG'', which involves a human colony discovering that there's more to humans than meets the eye, while alien races are hunting them, ''The Black Relay Race'' is a horror novel, taking place on a space yacht transporting strange cargo with the crew disappearing one-by-one. Then follow the novels ''The Legacy of Giants'' and ''No One but Us'', with an additional genre shift, although much more like the first novel than the second. These are pure war novels, inspired by [[David Brin]]'s ''[[Uplift|Startide Rising]]''.
* [[Dale Brown]] books: ''The Tin Man'' was the first one to be almost entirely focused on the dirtside perspective, unlike previous titles that were almost solely the flyboys' game. More infantry-centric content started creeping in after that.
* ''The Main Noon'' by Alexander Mirer's (that got a [//www.imdb.com/title/tt0353899/ movie adaptation]) is a mix of Soviet style spy drama with [[Amateur Sleuth]] teen adventures, if a bit more dark, about random people thwarting an [[Alien Invasion]]. The second book ''Home of the Wanderers'' is a Sci-Fi spy thriller of another kind, with focus on world-building, alien politics, deep cover infiltration, plus being a part of chess game by [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]s. It's good reading in its own way, but some fans of the first book commented that they didn't like the completely different tone in a sequel.
