* FantasticRacism: Downplayed. The humans freely call disparate non-humans 'xenos' to their faces even in tense situations, but none seem to particularly mind. Most of the species have some sort of problem with other species and wars are common. However despite the multitude of species on Rhysalan, the tension is generally low.
* MissionControl: Baby interacts with Tower through his augment, not to mention performs a large amount of the research.

* ShellshockedVeteran: Tower has horrible PTSD that is preventing him from moving on or forming meaningful relationships. His brutality in battle even scares Hildreth.

* TheSpock: Averted. The Artificial Intelligence's in universe have plenty of emotions and don't always cooperate with one another. Baby even calls an older, less functional model 'retarded'.

Outer space - once unknown, now exhaustively detailed. In a universe of planets, there are even more governments and the only alternative to defeat and revolution is to rule forever. Good luck with that.
After obtaining independence, the human-controlled planet of Rhysalan eventually starts harboring the politicians and personnel of governments who had been ousted as others’ independence. They have a lot of money don’t you know? However, the cosmopolitan planet of wealthy refugees lie plenty of schemes and machinations, with the corruption to facilitate them.
When the Morchardese Prince Arpad Vladislaus Jaegalleon gets [[PlotTriggeringDeath vaporized by a disruptor one day]], MCID Chief Warrant Officer Graven Tower and Detector Derin Hildreth arrive to investigate this murder, which of course spirals into a much larger conspiracy.
''Quantum Mortis – A Man Disrupted'' is a combination of science fiction and classic noir taking place on the edges of the [[ColonizedSolarSystem human-controlled portion of known outer space]]. Initially created as one book by Theodore Beale – known primarily as Creator/Voxday – and Steven Rzasa, it has since expanded to a mini-series and even spawned a larger spin-off series called "War Dogs" by G. D. Stark.
