The Paradox Trilogy is a Science Fiction series by Rachel Bach.Deviana Morris is a mercenary who dreams of joining the Devastators, an elite guard of soldiers in Powered Armor who directly serve the Sacred King of Paradox. Since membership in the Devastators is invitation-only, Devi decides to beef up her resume with a tour of duty as private security on Captain Caldswell's freighter Glorious Fool. Glorious Fool has a legendary reputation as a cursed ship, getting into more trouble on the average freight run than most ships see in war zones, and surviving for one year under Caldswell is considered to be worth five years of any other military service. Devi doesn't believe in curses, and joins the crew of the Glorious Fool thinking it'll just be a job like any other. Then she meets the crew.Caldswell, the captain, constantly changes course to meet with mysterious "clients" nobody else gets to meet. Basil, the navigator, is an insufferably superior alien who refuses to work for anyone but Caldswell. Nova, the sensor technician, is a psychic space-hippie. Hyrek, the doctor, is a former butcher turned surgeon and outcast from his race. Ren, the captain's daughter, rarely speaks and spends most of her time playing chess alone. Rupert, the cook is incredibly strong and unusually skilled at martial arts.Against her better judgement, Devi can't help but investigate the mysteries surrounding the Glorious Fool's cursed luck and unusual crew. What she discovers thrusts her into the center of a conspiracy involving Eldritch Abominations which pose a threat to all life.The trilogy consists of Fortune's Pawn, Honor's Knight, and Heaven's Queen. | |

Stop, or I Shoot Myself! | |
| Paradox Trilogy / int_11519098 | comment |
Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: In Honor's Knight, Devi negotiates by pointing a gun at her own head. It works, because she's carrying the last surviving strain of the Stoneclaw virus; if she dies, it'll be lost forever. Later, Caldswell negotiates the same way with Reaper's xith'cal; although Reaper does want Caldswell dead, he needs to do it himself, which requires that Caldswell not die just yet. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Paradox Trilogy / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Devi fully believes that the Sacred King is capable of performing miracles, but doesn't believe in curses or psychic powers. She's surprised when plasmex, which she'd dismissed as a superstition akin to gremlins or black magic, turns out to be a well-known and well-documented phenomenon on worlds other than Paradox. | |

Mistaken for Special Guest | |
| Paradox Trilogy / int_1d3bc993 | comment |
Mistaken for Special Guest: When Devi gets her armor repaired, its quality and the fact that she has the same last name as a well-known Baron cause the shop owner to mistake her for nobility. Paradoxan law actually requires any peasant who is mistaken for nobility to immediately correct the person making the error; but since she's not on Paradox, Devi feels comfortable bending the rules a bit to get faster service. | |

They're only able to use it as a passage because of a power outage. | |

Heroic Sacrifice:Thousands of phantoms join together to form one big one inside a space station, which then communicates telepathically with Devi (see Not Evil, Just Misunderstood below), allowing itself to be infected with the Stoneclaw virus and thus subjecting itself to a horrible death. The Lelgis also create a new queen with the intent that she would sacrifice herself to eliminate Devi and the Stoneclaw virus, but when push comes to shove the queen chickens out. | |

Hostile Terraforming: The preferred type of terraforming. Paradox uses robots to terrform planets for colonization, without much regard for indigenous species.

Gladiator Games | |
| Paradox Trilogy / int_693cabaf | comment |
Gladiator Games: Gladiator games between contestants in powered armor are popular entertainment on Paradox. There are apparently two leagues; one which features legitimately dangerous contests of skill, and one which has scripted matches intended to show off the armor's abilities. Devi was offered the opportunity to be a gladiator, but declined because female gladiators are expected to wear Chainmail Bikini style "armor" rather than the real powered armor Devi loves using. | |

Chess Motifs | |
| Paradox Trilogy / int_6d56cebf | comment |
Chess Motifs: The titles of the books, Fortune's Pawn, Honor's Knight, and Heaven's Queen, reference chess pieces of increasing value, reflecting protagonist Devi's rise in importance from a mere pawn in the first book to bearing the fate of the galaxy in the last. Devi also notices that Creepy Child Ren often plays chess games by herself. Ren always sets up the board with the black queen already captured; this represents Maat's imprisonment. | |

| Paradox Trilogy / int_6ef09297 | comment |
Masquerade: The Eyes hide all existence of the phantoms from the general public, mind-wiping or killing anyone who learns the truth and even making up cover stories to explain the destruction of entire planets. Caldwell says it's because people would panic if they learned that an invisible, unkillable monster could rip the planet out from under them at any time. Brenton, by contrast, says that the cover-up is because the Eyes are afraid of being called to account for the horrible acts they've committed in the name of protecting humanity. | |
