The Ecolitan Matter series blends science fiction with political intrigue, following operatives from an ecologically-focused society as they navigate interstellar politics. The four novels span from The Ecologic Envoy (1986) through The Ecolitan Enigma (1997), each featuring protagonists who use intelligence and ecological principles to solve problems rather than brute force.
The series reflects Modesitt’s interest in environmental themes and competent professionals working within complex systems — themes that would recur throughout his later fantasy and science fiction works.
