It's obvious that Cletus Graeme - limping, mild-mannered scholarly - doesn't belong on a battle field, but instead at a desk working on his fourth book on battle strategy and tactics. But Bakhalla has more battlefields than libraries, and Graeme sees his small force of Dorsai - soldiers of fortune - as the perfect opportunity to test his theories. But if his theories or his belief in the Dorsai lead him astray, he's a dead man.

This book was read in a far more interesting manner than Necromancer. Loved it. The voice was just right for Cletus. He’s taciturn and keeps everyone at a distance whilst his genius mind is miles ahead of the rest. I liked the way his sadness and loneliness could be heard. It contrasted with his military style. The empathic Melissa and stoic Eachan, with the rest of the characters were distinct and clearly portrayed.

I’m looking forward to hearing the next book
