Series background & context

This page pulls together the books RE Vance wrote with Michael Anderle, and they show a broad slice of what that partnership does well. The mood shifts from dragon fantasy to time-loop science fiction to paranormal investigation, but the basic engine stays the same: fast starts, pressure on the characters, and a refusal to keep the stakes small.

They move fast.

Dragon Approved and Osprey Chronicles show two different sides of the collaboration. In Dragon Approved, Alex Bound is pulled into Middang3ard, where dragonriders stand between the world and collapse. What begins as training and survival widens into missions, sieges, alien contact, and a long fight against the Dark One. Osprey Chronicles goes the other way first, dropping Jaeger into deep space with no memory, a hostile ship, and a mission that may decide humanity's future.

Die Again to Save the World adds a more playful science fiction hook. Rueben Peet dies, resets, and tries again, which sounds useful until you remember he is spectacularly underqualified for hero work. Those books mix spy-movie chaos, repeat-and-revise problem solving, and later multiverse stakes, without losing the sense that Rueben is always half a step from disaster.

On the fantasy side, Dark Gate Angels and Mantle and Key Paranormal Agency keep the action closer to the street, at least at first. One follows a battered team that barrels from city fights into liches, war, and literal Hell. The other centers on Maine, a half-troll detective whose cases keep opening onto a much larger supernatural conflict. Both series know how to start with a sharp hook and then keep widening the circle.

Even the jokes arrive under pressure.

That is really what ties these collaborations together. The characters do not get the luxury of solving one tidy problem and going home. Every win uncovers another enemy, another layer of politics, or another world entirely. These books like momentum. They like teams, uneasy alliances, and heroes who have to figure things out while already in motion.

So think of this page as the Michael Anderle side of RE Vance at full speed. If you like him when he is leaning hard into serial storytelling, big hooks, found-family energy, and genre mashups that keep getting larger as they go, this shelf is a very good place to start.
