Summary
On the sixteen colonized worlds, mankind had changed, evolved into something that was slightly more than human...and slightly less. Men of War on the Dorsai worlds, men of Faith on the Friendly Worlds of Harmony and Association, men of Science, the Exotics of Kultis and Mara, and the Splinter cultures which had produced even stranger new talents. Those who knew said it was the Dorsai who supplied soldiers to the sixteen worlds. The Friendlies supplied cannon fodder, common soldiers who could be relied on to obey orders at all times. But even cannon fodder can sometimes produce genius. Jamethon Black is a true soldier, and a true man of faith. Now he must face a deadly enemy--an enemy whose defeat will forever separate Black from the only woman he has ever loved.

Enjoyable book
This was the second Gordy Dickson I ever read after In Iron Years. That got me searching for other books and found Dorsai! Individually each book stands alone and are sometimes classed as nothing special. I disagree. This series builds a detailed picture of man’s evolution and the challenges faced as the species heads out into the stars. In this book a young Donal Graeme starts to pit his wits against William of Ceta. It was the first of the Childe Cycle written, before it became a series.
Good story, interesting voice actor. Well worth a listen.

Well read but disappointing story
I was looking for a book which would compare to something like Starship Troopers or Forever War. This book is not about soldiering at all so ignore that. It is more along the feel of the Foundation series. The story is patchy and requires you to make a number of assumptions in order to work. It's conclusions are shallow and did not leave me with a desire to return to this storyworld. I would not recommend it.
