These are books about trying to colonize an exoplanet. In the second book, colonization of the unnamed planet continues. There are more and more operators. Many clans appear, intending to tear off part of the "pie" from the Company. Fox and his friends also want to participate in the "partition," although he is sure that the activity of the newly-minted leaders of the colonists is nothing more than part of a plan to colonize the exoplanet.
