Added DiffLines:

Spacecapades (long-standing working title) is a five-book science fiction series that has yet to be written in any real cohesive manner. Originating from an end-of-class writing prompt, it has grown far more complex than it has any right to be, and is simultaneously the pride and joy and the bane of the author's existence.

Set in the very distant future, the series centers primarily around two teams within the Bureau of Inter-Planetary Law Enforcement, and their efforts in dealing both with the [[GovernmentProcedural day-to-day cases that come with the job]], as well as the growing issues that begin to affect the entire system. Spanning everything from organized crime to bio-terrorism to deep-rooted government corruption, it is sure to be written...eventually.
