Book Review: A mercenary unit tries to hold back society's collapse.
Summary: 5 Stars
Lysander Collins, Prince of the colony world Sparta, travels to Tanith, the prison planet, to meet John Christian Falkenberg. Once there he becomes deeply involved with Falkenberg and his mercenary unit as they try to locate the crop of borloi drugs being withheld by the local ranchers. Throughout his time working with Falkenberg and his people, Lysander learns more of the nature of the group, and becomes embroiled in their galactic conspiracy to try and hold back the collapse of human society.The military skirmishes that occur throughout the book are described by Pournelle in his inimicable style. Drawing heavily from actual historical conflicts, dressed up as science fiction, this novel is an excellent example of Pournelle's work.
The second book in the Falkenberg Legion saga, set in Jerry Pournelle's future universe that includes the books Falkenberg's Legion, Prince of Sparta, War World, Mote in God's Eye, and Mote Around Murchison's Eye.
