REVIEW
The true motivation for this series of books isn't the superficial one you'll be able to examine within the other reviews. Jerry Pournelle likes to experiment with "what if" notions of army historical past - on the planet Tran you discover a mixture of Roman legions, Celts, medieval knights, mongol hordes etc... plus the newly added American mercenaries. Thus what you get is essentially a sequence of battles between armies that could never have faced one another traditionally - and it makes fascinating reading.
