Welcome to the League of Planetary Systems!
The League of Planetary System was founded in the not too distant future. Several planets in the Milky Way Galaxy joined together for trade and mutual protection. The League continues to grow and new planets petition for admittance. The citizens of the League represent many species including the ogre-like Goranthi, the insectoid Martok, and the felinoid Katalan. As advanced and diverse as the League is, it's problems are frighteningly familiar--corruption, murder, genocide.
Frank and Jo Carey created the League as the setting for many of their science fictions tales which span genres from Frank's military science fiction and space opera to Jo's sci-fi adventure and sci-fi romance.
The outer fringes of League space are still being explored and new planets continue to petition for membership. The League is part of a larger multiverse providing an endless supply of tales to be told.
Each book and series set in the LPS can be read as a standalone, but each League book is given a League Tale Number which appears on the copyright page of the book. The League Tale Number indicates the order in which the book was published and, should anyone ever want to, the order in which the overall League Tales should be read. Views: 169
