Not For Glory

This is an awesome book!!!!!!! I would not recommend it to young children becuase it uses swears

Not just another mercenary book...

Metzada has one export: the Metzada Mercenary Corps. Trained to fight with everything from knives to pikes, from crossbows to slugthrowers, they were always for hire. If they didn't get work their kids didn't get food. But now things have become more complex and Metzada must turn to the former General Shimon Bar-El, the most cunning and successful military leader the Corps ever had. And a traitor who nobody trusts. Will he save them or will he be the planet's unltimate ruin?Now the planet of Metzada and its Corps will have to fight, Not For Glory, but for survival. Very realistic.

One of the best.

I've been reading sci-fi/fantasy for over 35 years. Rosie's NFG is in my top 10. 'Nuff said.

Future mercenaries from a resource poor world.

This is book I picked-up by chance (I had never heard of Joel Rosenberg). It was hard to put down, and when I did, I wondered why Joel Rosenberg has gotten away from the future military genre? While I enjoy his other books, especially when one of my favorite detectives is at work, I long for more of heroes with whom I can more easily identify. If you can find a copy, read it. You may need tissue at hand.
