The Rampart Worlds is a three-book space opera series by Julian May set in a future where corporate families control interstellar territories. The story follows Helly Frost as he fights to save his family’s corporation and the worlds under its protection from enemies both human and alien.
The series combines corporate thriller elements with space opera adventure, set in a far-future universe where business and politics are as dangerous as any alien threat. It is a departure from May’s psychic-powers-focused work into more action-oriented science fiction.
