If you like military Sci-Fi, this is your book. The sequel to two others in the series, ranks with S.M. Stirling, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle. Extremely re-readable. My only regret- have not been able to find new works by this writer. BUY THE BOOK!
Great follow-up to previous two books in series!

The first two books in the series (Fire in a Faraway Place and A Small Colonial War) set a standard that's hard to beat, but Cain's Land manages. You need to read the first two before reading this one. This whole series is top-flight miltary/socio-political science fiction. Vereschagin, Coldewe and the Iceman set a standard for thoughtful military heroes (or maybe anti-heroes). If you like David Drake's Hammer's Slammers (and I do), read these books to see what the genre can really do
