* AuthorTract: For the first six books, Eisler thoroughly averted this. But it finally set in with the Ben Treven books which some claim have come off as an overly anvilicious critique of the American military and intelligence community. This trend seeped into "The Detachment", with some reviewers believing it dragged down the pacing at times but stopped with "Graveyard Of Memories" the prequel novel set in the 1970's.

Added DiffLines:
* GrowingTheBeard: While the first two books are not bad by any means, ''Winner Take All'' introduces Dox and Delilah, who serve as excellent foils to Rain, as well as expanding the series in both geographic and narrative scope.
* InfoDump: Done several times in early books, the most prominent of which is probably Rain's multiple-page description of an SDR (surveillance detection route.) These descriptions are significantly toned down in later books.
