Entertaining hard SF that vaguely reminds me of bits of Christopher Anvil's "Pandora's Planet".

Physicist's disease note: terawatts/second isn't a sensible unit in the situation mentioned in the story. The unit should have been just terawatts.

So far, the most surprising thing about this book is how similar it is (in tone, at least) to Glen Cooks's "The Black Company".

It also has the same callous attitude to characters that Cook's book has, which is reducing my engagement some.
