* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: 5 - Mohs/SpeculativeScience. Despite its propensity for action and humor, the novel aspires to absolute real possibility in every respect, often to plot-clogging detail. The flying cars work on ground effect. The ray guns shoot microwave radiation. The power plant "flips quarks" and about a page is spent explaining exactly what that means and referencing scientists who were working on the theory at the time the novel was written. Every element of the novel that qualifies as science fiction seems to have been researched to ensure actual potential, and all that research is referenced in the form of in-jokes, subtle nods, or outright statements within the story.

''Valhalla'' focuses on the nature of its protagonist as a misfit, a vicious girl in a peaceful society. Too violent even for the military, her introduction to Valhalla reveals that it's outcasts like her who keep the world running. What follows is one part spy story, one part action, one part futurism and one part comedy. The sequel, ''Ragnarök'', covers a world-saving mission by Violet and her team, and delves into darker, more bizarre material in its second half. A third book is planned for release in October of 2015.
