November: Dorsai by Gordon Dickson

Bringing things full circle for 2008 (we started the year with two military SF novels) is Gordon Dickson's "Dorsai!" "Dorsai" is part of the incomplete Childe series. It was the first novel published in the series, though later novels look at events that take place before "Dorsai!"

Throughout the Fourteen Worlds of humanity, no race is as feared and respected as the Dorsai. The ultimate warriors, they are known for their deadly rages, unbreakable honor, and fierce independence. No man rules the Dorsai, but their mastery of the art of war has made them the most valuable mercenaries in the known universe.Donal Graeme is Dorsai, taller and harder than any ordinary man. But he is different as well, with talents that maze even his fellow Dorsai. And once he ventures out into the stars, the future will never be the same.

The Obscure Reference SciFi and Fantasy Group will meet on Wednesday, November 19th at 6:30 p.m. at Linebaugh Library to discuss the book. We meet a week earlier than usual in November due to Thanksgiving. That evening, all final nominations for next year will be taken as well.
