A story set in the midst of a future interstellar war, this book focuses most of its time on examining the effects of introducing advanced weaponry, technology and tactics into a medieval human society on a newly discovered colonized planet. Like much military science fiction, the author spends too much time on the fine details of rank, precedent and appropriate modes of address which may not mean much to anyone who has not been in the service. He clearly likes to make his technology plausible, which makes the occasional woo-woo priestesses and their spiritual healing jarringly out of place. Good writing, a fine heroine, and interesting secondary characters all make this a highly recommended read.
