Several books of the original Helmsman saga, The Siege, The Defenders and The Defiance in particular, were influenced by the World War II autobiography titled The Big Show (written by Pierre Clostermann).[3]
Baldwin's work contains allusions to other science fiction works. For example, Galactic Convoy mentions a planet named Throon (the capital world in the Star Kings books). The Turning Tide features a freighter captain named Verger Antillies.
This series began in 1985 but was later reprinted in 'Director's Cut Special Editions' by Timberwolf Press. Also, as of October 2012, rewritten versions of the first four books have been made available in both paper and electronic form.
