"Frontier conflict" denotes stories set on the margins of settled society where expanding powers, settlers, explorers or corporations collide with indigenous peoples, rival claimants, or the hostile land itself. These books focus on violence, lawlessness and survival amid raw landscapes—prairies, deserts, jungles, outback or even space—and explore skirmishes, raids, broken treaties, and the personal and cultural costs of expansion. Characters are often soldiers, settlers, scouts, traders or indigenous resistors grappling with moral ambiguity, revenge, and changing identities as social order is imposed or resisted. The subgenre ranges from historical and revisionist takes on colonial frontiers to postcolonial critiques and speculative/space-frontier variations, united by themes of conquest, resource competition, cultural clash, and the harsh realities of life at civilization’s edge.
