The Galactic Milieu Trilogy (Jack, Diamond Mask, and Magnificat) takes place in the future of the Pliocene Exile universe and follows humanity’s relationship with a community of psychic alien civilizations. The books focus on the Remillard family and their extraordinary mental powers, which make them central figures in Earth’s entry into galactic politics.
The trilogy is connected to both the Pliocene Exile saga and the standalone novel Intervention, which bridges the gap between the two series. May’s vision of a universe where psychic powers are the key to civilizational advancement gives the series its distinctive flavor among galactic-scale science fiction.
