Depends on your mood; the two series are very different in feel.
The
Kestral stories are reminiscent of
Star Trek (TOS) and
Firefly, sci-fi adventure that doesn't get too nit-picky about the science part. (In fact, I originally designed the
Kestral stories to be within the
Trek universe, then redesigned the settings to what I considered a more realistic universe. Then
Firefly came out, and I swear I wondered if Joss Whedon had somehow pinched my notes!)
The
Verdant stories are based on hard science, with some interesting interpolations based on current theory. They feature a very realistic setting and characters, and a storyline believable enough that you can easily imagine being caught up in their situation yourself.
