Synopsis

Mild-mannered and scholarly Cletus Graeme, a light colonel on assignment with the Allied forces, arrives on Bakhalla, where he commands a small force of Dorsai, soldiers of fortune who sell their lives in foreign wars to feed their families back home, and Graeme sees an opportunity to test his theories on them.
