''The Gap Cycle'' by Stephen R. Donaldson is essentially Creator/RichardWagner's ''Ring Cycle'' in space. The setting is in a dystopian future where Earth is dependent on the resources of deep space and governed by a man who is in control of both the police [UMCP] and the biggest company in human history [UMC]. Most of the plot is driven by an EvilPlan of the UMCP director, seeking to undermine the control of the UMC CEO.

!Contains examples of:

* AerithAndBob: Weird names are everywhere
* CrapsackWorld: The characters are trying to avoid this.
* ConsummateLiar: Hashi Lebwohl makes no distinction between Truth and Lies.
* {{Fiction500}}: Holt Fasner owns most bigger Enterprises, the Police and buys the World Governments support whenever he needs it.
* InsufferableGenius: Hashi Lebwohl and Lane Harbinger
* LivingLieDetector: Warden Dios prostetic eye enables him to read IR emissions and detect signs of stress associated with lying.
* MagnificentBastard: Warden Dios
* MoralEventHorizon: Most of the cast dances around it, YMMV if anyone actually crosses it.
* OneNationUnderCopyright: Most of humanitys corporations and half of the government are ruled by the United mining Companyies
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Not as bad as in the Covenenat novels, and depending on the perspective. Hashis chapters are full of it, while Davies or Morns are comparatively simple.
* TheDragon: Cleatus Fane is the Dragons Dragon.
