Worlds of the Spiral Politic was a series of Faction Paradox novels and anthologies published by Obverse Books. Each release focused on a specific setting in the Spiral Politic established in the main Faction Paradox line.[1]

Overview

Following the positive reception of these stories, Worlds of the Spiral Politic was announced in 2021 as a series of books set in the Spiral Politic,[1] a term introduced in The Book of the War for the Homeworld's sphere of influence.
