Expendable Commitment Hour (mildly interesting, mostly dealing with Spark Lords) Vigilant Hunted Ascending Trapped Basic premise: Humans are allowed to travel interstellar space by the mysterious and all powerful League Of Peoples, but if you are responsible for the death of another sentient, the moment you cross over into interstellar space you drop dead. The Space Navy is filled with corruption and is involved in all sorts of skullduggery. People with even minor physical imperfections are considered expendable. There are planets out there populated by descendents of modified human stock, colonies created by aliens thousands of years before humans achieved spaceflight. There is a planet of no return. This could have all been pulpy hackwork, but is actually pulled off intelligently and with good humor. xponent Oh Shit!
