''The ''[[Tau Ceti Agenda Series]]'' is relatively hard military science fiction by author [[Travis S. Taylor]]. In a somewhat dystopian future, {{spoiler|the colonies of Earth rebel, as they are victims of economic discrimination and are almost without representation}}. Politically, the United States has changed a lot. Changes include no electoral college and no term-limited presidents.
 
Each of the books contains the events of one very important day in the series timeline.
Line 6:
# ''The Tau Ceti Agenda'' covers {{spoiler|the attempted assassination of President Alexander Moore, Quantum teleportation used in combat, and and attempt to destroy a critical voting block to influence the election}}.
# ''One Good Soldier'' is much the same as the previous books, with critical events all happening in a single day.

This series provides examples of:
* [[The Empire]]: The United States, although technically a democracy, is now considered an empire. The various colonist groups, both within the solar system and outside it, find themselves almost without representation.
* [[Designated Victim]]: Poor Joe Buckley, the designated victim of choice among Baen authors ends up dead in a particularly nasty manner in the first book. In the following books, Joe Buckley Jr. comes pretty dang close to following in his father's footsteps a couple of times.
