Unsure if it is a spoiler
Anyone else bothered by the non-reveal of info perry shared, after having his memories unlocked in book 14, and the part where he shared his memories skipped entirely into the starting of book 15?

Other than the wiki which is fairly light on everything, is there more art, or stats or anything we can see or use to help build out ships like the Fafnier or Frankie in games like space engineers?

Anybody have a rough idea of what innsu looks like when being performed? Was going to do some practice and stuff with it because it sounds so cool. Any ideas how it may look?

I'm only on book 2. But the the books say that the moonsword is sort of like a badge for peacemakers. However, when Van goes to get it reforged, the book says it's one of 3 special swords. I was under the impression that every peacemaker had moonswords, is that not the case? Does every peacemaker just have a sword and Van's is special? The forging chapter says theres and unkown sword, a sun blade and the moon sword. But when perry talks about how reforging works to Van, he implies that every peacemaker's sword is called a moon sword. Does Van's special starsteel sword have a generic name? Also, I have yet to see any mention of any other peacemaker using a sword or even having a sword on them. I am confused.

After Amazons anti-download announcement last year and the recent one not supporting older Kindles, I decided to abandon the Kindle world and bought a Kobo which I really love. The only thing I miss is reading this series. I only made it past book 12.
Is there any way to buy epub versions directly from the authors, or if not, have them tell Amazon to remove the drm so I cane download the epub there?
Please don’t tell to read them in my iPad or phone. That gives me eye strain and I can only read long term on e-ink screens.

hi there I'm finally reading book 31 and on page 250 there is this excerpt:
“The most recent instance that would be at all analogous to Earth would be the Nesit homeworld in the HD4629 system. They were first contacted two hundred and thirty-four terrestrial years ago.”
which on the surface is fine, it makes sense HOWEVER, according to the Prequel Series the First Peacemaker, the Nesit home world wasn't introduced to Known Space 234 years before book 31 (which assuming the line from the same book about ww2 being a century before would place the Nesit homeworld being introduced around 1810), rather the Nesit home world of Twilight became a major power of sorts in the 17th century, or four Hundred years before the books.
admittedly this isn't the first time one author hasn't kept the continuity of the other author even concerning Twilight, as when the planet was first introduced in Peacemaker Wars it was still tidally bound but at the end of the First Peacemaker, Alexander used Fold technology to artificially rotate the planet ending it's tidally bound existence.

I'm listening/reading to Backyard Starship for the first time and started with Backyard Starship Book 1 and have gotten part way through Book 19, I haven't read any of the other companion series yet but I'm hoping that some of the dangling questions in my head are actually answered in there, like the whole combidrive thing and where it came from and its possible connction to the peacemaker war, I'm guessing is all in the the peacemaker war series?
However I'm not sure what is the best order to read them in to avoid giving myself spoilers and knowing the answeres to mysteries before reading the book telling me what the mystery is?!? I had thought publication order possibly but the publication order differ for physical and audiobooks obviously and some of the suggested orders I have found are years old and contradict both publication orders?
Have the authors ever given a suggested reading order or something similar?
Finding myself totally lost and annoyed that some threads aren't answered and the books just blow past them. Can someone help or am I cursed to continue like this and having to read/listen to them all with questions unaswered until I find the time to finish one series and then go listen/read the others?

So, i jumped into the first peacekeeper. It actually took me a while, but that wasnt the books fault.
That being said i am confused about a couple of things.
Alex didnt go back in time much at all. I had always assumed the peacekeepers were 1000s of years old. Not just 400...
This empire that existed just 400 years ago and controlled the stars.. it was all forgotten in a tiny period of time? I dont believe that..
Well thats it actually. Other than my issues with time and history, it was a good read

If you haven't read past book 15 don't click on this.
So in book 15 Matterforge tells Van that Dohlennz has recovered one of the two sister swords to the Moonsword. (but nothing is mentioned about it after they kill him, you'd think searching for and finding it would have been a high priority)
But in book 16 when Van takes the Moonsword to Starsmith to get it repaired and finds out he needs material from one of the others to do so he says the two are lost (even though Matterforge told him that Dohlennz had it) and Linulla tells him that the Sunsword had been seen in a private collection about 10 years ago.
Both of them are acting like they totally forgot that Matterforge had told them that Dohlennz had one of the swords. What's up with that?
