The Slip Runner series by M.F. Lerma is a ten-book space opera published between 2022 and 2024. Starting with Thick as Thieves, the series follows its characters through escalating interstellar situations, with titles that trace an arc from criminal beginnings (Thick as Thieves) through conflict (Dark Peace, Bad Omens) to something larger (Way of Light, Cosmic Horizon).
Lerma maintained a fast publication pace, releasing most of the series within about two years. The complete ten-book run gives the series a definitive beginning and ending, which is appealing for readers who prefer finished series to open-ended ones.
