* SpaceSailing: The Human-Adar Alliance's first warp ship is a converted Ohio class ballistic missile submarine, the USS ''Nebraska'' (SSBN-739), and is mostly crewed by US Navy personnel who primarily use naval terminology except where the third dimension gets involved.

* StarshipLuxurious: Averted. The first ''Vorpal Blade'' being a converted ''Ohio''-class [[UsefulNotes/SuperiorFirepowerMissileSubmarines SSBN]], space is at a premium - though the bunks themselves are awesome, basically being the ultimate in entertainment, filled with nearly every TV series, video game, film, and music ever (and can survive in space, if the ship explodes).

TRS cleanup


* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: While it has hints that the genre is going to change at the end of the first book, the series goes from EarthIsABattlefield to Franchise/StarTrek [[RecycledInSpace WITH GUNS]] - Though still damned awesome.

Officially known as the ''Voyage of the Space Bubble'' series, this story -- tending more towards the "hard" side of MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness (which softens somewhat as the series continues) and building off of currently known particle physics -- is written by Creator/JohnRingo and (joining after the first book) Travis Taylor. TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, an accident at a Florida university's high energy particle physics laboratory results in multiple gates opening to other parts of the galaxy, through which a HordeOfAlienLocusts with OrganicTechnology launch an attack on Earth.

* SocietyMarchesOn: In Claws that Catch, there's a whole huge subplot about the linguist/Omnidisciplinary Scientist Miriam Moon being [[spoiler:on the Vorpal Blade II, doing things, because she's a woman. The recurring refrain is "no women on subs!" because the Vorpal Blade I was built from a sub. And yet no one-- not even Miriam-- argues with the statement that women shouldn't be on subs. The ONLY argument anyone makes is that the Vorpal Blade and Miriam are exceptional, and so should be above the "women on subs" thing. There is no "women on subs are fine" argument. And nowadays?
