Currently consists of four novels: Grand Central Arena (2010) Spheres of Influence (2013) Challenges of the Deeps (2017) Shadows of Hyperion (2021)The Sandrisson Drive promises to give humanity Faster-Than-Light Travel of the distances-are-shorter-in-hyperspace variety. But when the Holy Grail, the first manned FTL ship, transitions into Kanzaki-Locke space, it finds itself not in a featureless void, but contained within an enormous sphere encompassing the volume equivalent to the solar system. Outside the sphere is the Arena, where thousands of alien races interact and compete according to the rules laid down by the Precursors who built it. And if Captain Ariane Austin and her crew are ever to get the Drive running again and get home, they'll have to face the wonders and dangers of the Arena and stake out a place for humanity in a universe stranger than they ever imagined.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The first volume of the series is available from the Baen Free Library. | |

Adaptational Heroism: DuQuesne is an example of this both In-Universe and in the traditional sense. | |

Air-Vent Passageway | |
| Grand Central Arena / int_5b19cc1b | comment |
Air-Vent Passageway: Played with in Shadows of Hyperion; when the heroes are preparing to infiltrate the diabolical mastermind's secret lair, DuQuesne makes a point of mentioning that they can't use the air vents because those are too narrow for anything larger than a rat to get through. Later, however, when she's in a pinch, Oasis is able to use the Arena's power to invoke tropes and discover/create a passageway just large enough for her to squeeze through. | |

Absolute Xenophobe: The Molothos. The Arena system forces them to interact non-destructively with other sentients, and they are not happy about it. | |

Absurdly High-Stakes Game | |
| Grand Central Arena / int_930e1bd4 | comment |
Absurdly High-Stakes Game: This is the core and essence of life in the Arena; if the name "The Arena" didn't clue you in, the fact that the "Challenges" can cost you entire SOLAR SYSTEMS should. | |
