* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: If Earth ever gets invaded, the best way to ascertain our freedom is by becoming an intergalactic drug dealer and a tax cheat.
** OTOH, it could also be interpreted as, "If you've been victimized and the system refuses to help you, your options are to either bend over or fight dirty."
* [[Spiritual Licensee]]: Of ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]''. Ringo and Tayler met, hit it off, and when Ringo mused on the First Contact days, Tayler enthusiastically gave him permission to write that story. Unfortunately, they lost touch and the books fell into [[Discontinuity]]. [http://ovalkwiki.com/FAQ Taylor still loves them, however.]
{{quote|'''Howard Taylor''': ''I wish those Ringo books were canon, but no, they're not. John and I haven't compared notes in three years. We've diverged. We'd need a nuclear shoehorn to make these things fit in the same, consistent space. Hopefully that doesn't ruin anybody's fun. If you want to create a section [in [http://www.ovalkwiki.com the Schlock Mercenary wiki]] for "Reconciling Schlock Mercenary with Troy Rising" you have our blessing.''}}
