In The Reformer, Raj and Center work to re-establish civilization on the world of Hafardine, ruled by the Empire of Vanbret. The period bears some similarity to Imperial Rome, and two Greek ( Emerald in the book) brothers use Center's technological advice to start 'civilizing' it, very violently, of course. Both the authors are extremely skilled not just at describing technical innovations and their military effects, but in providing interesting characters and incidents to develop the story. A sequel is obviously on the way, and for military SF buffs like me, the sooner the better.
