While the main draw of the series was the action and understated humor, the series was actually a political critique. It had seemed to Bunch and Cole that entirely too many science fiction authors were enamored with monarchies and their consequent fascist (although benevolent) ideals. They wanted to write a series to show the realities of politics and power - and to place a working-class man into this series; letting the reader see through his eyes and watch as he grows to be a real, and realistic, hero.
