* ''Ventus'', and its prequel ''Lady of Mazes'': Set in a universe of [[Nanomachines|nanotechnology]] and [[Artificial Intelligence|ubiquitious AI]]. ''Ventus'' is about a [[Terraform|terraformed]] planet where [[Deus Est Machina|the nanotech]] [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|has gone rogue]], while ''Lady of Mazes'' is a distant prequel that sets up the future history in ''Ventus''.
* The ''Virga'' series: Technically set within the same universe as ''Ventus'', but is a stand-alone series. The title Virga is a "world" that consists of [[The Sky Is an Ocean|endless sky]]...nearly. It's actually a [[Hollow World|3000-mile wide fullerene balloon]] filled with air, complete with artificial fusion-powered "suns", clouds, and a smattering of [[World in the Sky|asteroids]]-- and no gravity. The series focuses on the [[Sky Pirate|steam-punk society]] that lives inside.
