Rosenberg, Joel: NOT FOR GLORY

Metzada - the new Promised Land ... a barren world with no natural resources. Everything essential for continued survival must be imported, and the only commodity the Metzadans have worth trading is themselves. They are acknowledged to be the finest mercenary soldiers and strategists in the universe; if the price is right, they will fight to the death for whoever hires them.

Only once in the history of the Metzadan Mercenary Corps has one of its officers been accused of betraying a client: former General Shimon Bar-El, teh most cunning and successful strategist Metzada ever produced. Although no one has ever been able to prove Shimon´s guilt, the scandal cost him both his career and his citizenship. For it is the Metzadans reputation for honor and loyalty to their employers that sets them apart from all other mercenaries. Anyone who tarnishes that reputation puts the entire home-world population at risk, and even a suspicion of such treason warrants permanent exile.
