A Space Opera series by Penelope Irving, centred around the work of Earth’s space police force against a backdrop of three potentially warring Galactic ‘empires’ (although only one superpower is, technically, an empire).An unspecified number of centuries in the future, Earth is at the centre of a Union of around 1200 inhabited worlds. But we are not of course alone in the Galaxy — on one side is the ancient Taysan Empire, Space Elves with a rigidly stratified caste-based society and an absolute monarch, and on the other, the totalitarian People’s Republic of Daros. A hundred years before the series began, the governments of each signed a three-way peace agreement that has just about held up since. But with each signatory thereby pledged to gang up on the other if any one breaks the accord, there’s widespread fear that the Peace is fragile at best.‘Preserving the Peace’ against Taysan espionage and Darian infiltration is Spaceforce, the United Worlds of Earth’s crimefighters IN SPACE. The series follows the adventures of Jez, an experienced officer with a Dark and Troubled Past, and a new recruit, Andri Ferris, a Techno Wizard who came to the attention of Spaceforce when they arrested him for cybercrime. The pair work for ISIS, the branch of Spaceforce which deals with sensitive, political, intergalactic problems. Oh, and Jez is a space vampire.On the Taysan side, there’s Jay, a charming and ruthless spy who got that way because he was a poor fit for the life he was born to lead - and Ashlenn, a spirited ingenue who is forced to abandon her position in Taysan society.The books are a mixture of adventure, soft-core spy thriller and police procedural, with running character arcs and a bit of romance thrown in. The series is intended to be ongoing, according to the website.Not to be confused with the actual Space Force, the sixth and newest branch of the US armed forces, commissioned in December 2019. Or the Netflix series starring Steve Carell parodying said branch. Or Jeremy Robinson's 2018 novel.The books so far: Outcaste (2012) Deadline (2013) Oblivion (2014)It has been released and reorganized under the name Starcrime, Outcaste and Deadline have been left out, replaced with Hope, and using the Nom de Guerre Philippa Sidle.

There are also examples of New Something planets in the Union, such as New Scotland and New Florida. | |

Shed the Family Name: Jez doesn’t use her ‘House’ name, Aznata (although she did give it when she was presented to the Taysan Empress in Deadline). She implies that it’s because she fears attack from the Scree, who massacred most of her people and targeted nobles in particular. | |

| Spaceforce (2012) / int_4063acfd | comment |
Woman Scorned: Dazil in Outcaste. She is so distraught by what she sees as Jay’s rejection of her that she turns him over to the authorities, having learned the secret of his origins in the course of their affair. But there is also a suggestion that she might have planned to seduce him from the outset, in order to get pregnant and avoid being ‘replaced’ by her husband. | |

Downer Ending: Let’s look at the end of Oblivion.

Fantasia itself has been blown up. And Jay and Ashlenn have been forcibly separated by the dictates of the Taysan Empire, and forbidden ever to contact each other again. | |

Only One Name: Jez has other names (Jeziandra of House Aznata) but she doesn’t use them in day-to-day life. Maybe to avoid drawing attention to herself as one of the few surviving Mixitor nobles. We know Jay’s birth name (Jhal) but not his clan, an important part of any Taysan name. He doesn’t sign it on the marriage registry in Fantasia. | |

Ignored Epiphany: Jay’s compulsive womanizing causes him endless trouble, particularly as such behaviour is actually a criminal offence in the Taysan Empire. He does recognise this and vows to reform at the end of Outcaste - the very first scene of Deadline, the next book, finds him in a tavern, attempting to pursue a liaison with the serving wench. | |

Letting Her Hair Down | |
| Spaceforce (2012) / int_ccfc0535 | comment |
Letting Her Hair Down: Ashlenn, on the beach in Deadline in the scene where Jay urges her to elope with him. Given extra significance by the fact that in Taysan society, ‘unbound’ hair is considered indecent. Nastily subverted with Mizal, whose hair is let loose by her murderer/torturer to humiliate her. Jay pins it back up when he views her mutilated body. | |

I Have Many Names: Jay, which isn’t really his name anyway. We do know that his birth name is Jhal, but he uses a variety of aliases interchangeably as the situation demands. Justified in that some names seem to be appropriate for different castes, and his job as spy usually involves impersonating a suitable identity. | |

Everyone Is Single: None of the main characters appear to have partners or even boyfriends/girlfriends, although Jay engages in frequent liaisons and Andri, as of Oblivion, seems to be going the same way. Of course technically Jay and Ashlenn are now married to each other, but given that they’ve been forced to separate, who knows how that will turn out. | |

As for aliens, he even catches Gretcha’s eye although she’s just slept with Andri and he is still there in the room. Averted with Mizal, who physically assaulted him on the one occasion he tried it on with her. | |
