About the Quadrant Universe

The Quadrant Universe is a shared setting for all the writings of Nicholas Ahlhelm. Every short story, novella and novel in his library connects to the expansive universe in one way or another. So far, eight novels have been published in the main Quadrant Universe series. While the novels all share a universe, outside the Lightweight series they are all readable as individual entities without pre-existing knowledge of the other books.

The Quadrant Universe is built upon one decided principle that marks it unlike any other superhero universe in mainstream fiction. Since the dawn of mankind, metahumans have walked upon us. Their influence has shaped and changed the world. They work from the shadows. They walked among us. Only in the twentieth century did they dare to dress in garish costumes and become our heroes and celebrities.
