I really enjoyed the 2nd one, but 3 and 4 were so insane I can barely remember them. IIRC one was about the planet of people with genetically engineered OCD they’d turned into a religion, and the other one I can’t recall right now. I don’t think I hated them at the time but just felt like a different series, like you said. The Bean novels didn’t go quite so far astray.

Looks like I missed this guy’s stuff, but he sounds interesting.
That only works after the war is over and you have time to reflect on your role in genocide.
Man that series went off the rails fast
Yeah such a strong start then just crazy. Still I really enjoyed the books but it certainly felt unrelated.
Kinda reminds me of the Alastair Reynolds books. Very interesting but only vaguely connected
