One common thread between all the books in the series is the exploration of one or more Builder artifacts. Interestingly, each exploration reveals new and previously unknown facts about the Builders and leads the characters to speculate about the nature of the Builders and their current whereabouts. Each book ends with a very different conclusion based upon the newly discovered evidence. It would appear from the Foreword to Convergence by Sheffield that even he couldn't decide what the Builders should be.

“The trouble with most problem-solving books for parents is that they start with the idea that the child has a problem. Then they try to tell us how to fix the child, or else, after blaming the parent, they suggest how we can fix ourselves.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“They lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works.”
—Robert Burton (1577–1640)
