Depth (original title Głębia; as of today the book is still unprinted in English) is a series of hard science-fiction books by Polish author Marcin Podlewski. The first volume, subtitled Jumper ("Skokowiec") was released in 2015, followed by The Return ("Powrót") in 2016 and Inrush ("Napór") in 2017, with the final book, "Vastness" ("Bezkres"), to be released during summer 2018.Depth tells the story of the Milky Way in a distant future where, following human extra-solar expansion thanks to the titular Depth transit subspace, and two galaxy-wide wars, it is more commonly known as the Scorched Galaxy due to the vast majority of it being thoroughly ravaged and unsuitable for supporting life. What's left of the Galaxy is currently united under the banner of Unity, an alliance comprised of The State, The League and The Federation, with the outer layer occupied by Border Principalities. While it housed alien life in the past, it is currently inhabited only by humanity as the aliens were driven out during one of the main wars; as a result, they are now referred to as Those That Departed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })While the books follow multiple characters and organisations, often offering their individual points of view on shared events, arguably the main characters consist of the crew of jumper-class spaceship "Ribbon": the captain with a traumatic past Myrton Grunwald, Grunwald's only real friend and medical officer on his previous ship Harpago Jones, ex-military first pilot Erin Hakl, brilliant but psychologically fragile astronavigator Pinsleep Wise, lecherous and obese mechanic Monsieur and enigmatic genius computer specialist Hub Tansky.Aside of dealing with the main events which "Ribbon" is involuntary dragged into, Depth often explores the topics of human social interactions, what it means to be human and outcast, as well as the ever-growing technological progress and its implications for the at-the-time modern civilisation. Each volume consists of around 700-800 pages, and the full story is expected to be over 3000 pages long upon its conclusion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Depth / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Because of bad experience with Machines in the past, Unity has banned heavily developed artificial intelligence and most AIs seen in the books are "castrated", with heavy penalties set up for anyone trying to use more advance variants. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me | |
| Depth / int_738d1a0f | comment |
Because You Were Nice to Me: When Erin Hakl was still a child, living in an orphanage and being bullied for her dream of becoming a starship pilot, one of the friendly caretakers encourages her to keep standing up and fighting for her dreams, believing that if she stays strong, one day she will find someone willing to fight her battles. Erin thinks that Myrton punching the lights out of her former, hateful stalker commander when he threatens to kill her qualifies. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Depth / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Myrton Grunwald is this for the majority of the first book as means of numbing the pain of his various memories, much to the chagrin of his crew. With their help, he slowly finds other ways of dealing with them. | |

The Assimilator | |
| Depth / int_f4d8ac92 | comment |
The Assimilator: One of the main reasons STRIPS have such a bad reputation in Scorched Galaxy is that they tend to convert the majority of beings they come across into more STRIPS, never with their consent. | |
