Title: The Forlorn Hope
Description: Take a soldiers for hire company and have them screwed, blued and tattooed by the very people that hired them who even went so far that they were willing to see every person in that company killed like sheep.  They didn't take into account the skill levels of that company, nor three of their own who were unwilling to act in dishonor.  Mix well with a star ship and its crew who felt the same way and you have the makings for nonstop adventure by the Master Writer, David Drake.
