The '''''[[Union Series''']]'', in a nutshell:
 
The [[Dark Age Europe|Dark Ages]] never happened. Rome peacefully broke apart into several large nation-states. [[WWI]] was fought in the mid 20th century with tech that might as well be from [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]. The Red Revolution led to the formation of the Democratic Republic of Russia, headed by, and sticking to the ideals of, Lenin. The Cold War existed between the League of Nations and a Nationalist China.
Line 10:
And so begins the Union series, covering branches of Military Fiction, Sci-Fi, Political thriller, and sometimes horror.

* [[All Planets Are Earthlike]]: Subverted, HARD. Most planets are not Earthlike, those that are are fought over in politically heated battles that often are settled via proxy wars. Those that are close are terraformed, but never turn out quite right, being colder than earth, warmer, more arid, more moisture, etc.
* [[Alternate History]]: The entire series is an example of [[Alternate History]]; while the Dark Ages not happening pushed technology forward, the partnership between the LN and the DRR helped pushed technology over the top.
