This is the first book in one of my favourites series of all time. For many years I read my tattered paperback copy which contained all three volumes to start each year over the holidays.
In book one we meet our characters. The mri are a race of humanoid warriors who were contracted into fighting (by their own choice) by the Regul. Regul are a race of merchants unfit for the war they started against humans. Now with the war lost to humans the mri are looking to end their service but as one of the most formidable warrior races ever no one wants to let them go out into the black.
