The Ramparts worlds are written in the style of the
old 1950's 'Astounding Science Fiction' stories. They
rejoice in the tongue in cheek humour and sheer exubrants
of those old stories and are shamelessly nostalgic in
feel.
The fthree books in the series are:
Perseus Spur
Orion Arm
Sagittarius Whorl
The storyfollows the adventures/misadventures of a disgraced
policeman who is living out his life in a tropical paradise
on a planet far from Earth. From the moment his house
is destroyed by a giant seatoad, he is thrust back in
to his family's politics and must face a hostile invasion
by an alien species who are converting humans into a
different species.
