* These three are... strange, as well as potentially difficult to find. I very much enjoyed Vigilant and Trapped both, and Commitment Hour was... interesting. But don't let that last in particular turn you off the rest of the books - I think JAG was still very much reaching for what he wanted the series to be, while writing this one, whereas Ascending and Radiant are, IMHO, him at the top of his game.

Expendable
Commitment Hour *
Vigilant *
Hunted
Ascending
Trapped *
Radiant
