Only on book three, so far there's a Jewish inventor of the space drive, a foul mouthed but wise pajeet grandma politician with her soy husband, strong independent mongrel women, south east Asian doctor looking for his daughter, interracial lesbian pastor, oh and foolish/violent huwite men. shitskins diversity IN SPACE!

I love the ship designs, as they are the first harder sci fi ships to really hit the mainstream. The diversity got on me eventually and I dropped off. Another problem is that the further the books got from the starting point, the less interested I became in them. It's hard for me to care about former Martians using alien shipyards to build a massive empire (and I think conquer Earth?) when I came into the series wanting to see the UN grapple with a Mars that could finally rival it on a small, interplanetary scale.
Yes, but they tend to have nice shapes spouting from the ship and looks good to me. Though I am a huge fan of the flying gun spaceship design (cough Halo cough) so it's quite nice to see some slight variations on the design.
