At end of Rising Tides, he becomes the XO on Walker and 'Tabby' Tab At becomes the Engineering officer of Walker. Tabby has a crush on Spanky, who is unfortunately allergic to Lemurian fur.
In Blood in the Water Spanky and Walker were fairly inactive, he interacted with others when Matthew Reddy did.
In Devil's Due Spanky has to prevent Tabby and Isak from killing the representative of the boiler tube manufacture. Later he brings the news that the Grik will soon be on the move, and Santi Cat's determination to stop them.
In River of Bones Spanky is left to command and repair USS Walker. On their way to the Zambezi River they capture the German submarine U-112.
