It is always difficult for an author to
summarize their creations. More so when dealing with a collection, or
sequence, of stories that span several universes, several dozen major
characters, and nearly a thousand supporting characters. The
SmallPowers saga is quite difficult to pin down as being about one
theme or concept. That said, I can speak of each of them as being
somewhat self-contained and rooted in a particular genre of pulp
fiction. Here is a short and very general categorization.
Cindy: Fairy tale.
Ronaldo, Manuel, and Bella: High
fantasy.
Bella: Political drama.
Jake and Goili: Low fantasy.
Stella, Olivia, and Beatrix: Romance
adventure.
Grazzak: Classic fantasy.
Betkorn: Murder mystery.
There are more novels in the works, and I will do the same here for those next three too.
Lorii: Myth and fable.
Ethan: Surreal drama.
Helga and Beatrix: Hard boiled thriller.
Of the four novels that will follow that, the descriptions become more complex to state as being based around a particular genre. Much of that is due to the saga having enough backstory by that point in this project to be about the SmallPowers universe itself.
