The Morcai Battalion is Diana Palmer’s science fiction series, which is a major departure from her Western romance catalog. The original story was first published in 1980, and Palmer revised it as a full novel in 2007. The series follows a battalion of human and alien soldiers fighting in a futuristic war across seven books.

Palmer has been open about her love of science fiction, and the Morcai Battalion books show a completely different side of her writing. The series has its own dedicated following separate from her romance readers. The books feature military action, alien cultures, and space battles rather than the Texas ranches and Wyoming valleys of her other work.
