Ancient Peace, An

While this title functions as the start of the Peacekeeper series, it is a direct continuation of the Confederation series and assumes familiarity with the history and established relationships of the main characters. New readers will find the context and character dynamics much clearer if they begin with the earlier books in the Confederation sequence.

This novel serves as a narrative bridge that follows the conclusion of the Confederation series, shifting the focus from official military service to the covert, freelance operations of the same core team. It explores the lingering political tensions between the Elder and Younger races that were established in the preceding volumes.
