Yet there is a growing faction of Jorskians who believe that if he were truly anointed as Chosen One by the Gods, then the immortals would have given him the Sword of Light as proof of his calling.

Academics, pundits, and everyday citizens alike are rediscovering the importance of this ancient and powerful human motive.

Topics include the role of honor in the modern military, the effects of honor on our notions of the dignity and “purity” of women, honor as a quality of good statesmen and citizens, honor’s role in international relations and community norms, and how honor’s egalitarian and elitist aspects intersect with democratic and liberal regimes.

Book excerpt: Someone keeps sending small mercenary groups to perform hit and run raids on the backwater farming world of Kodomir. As tensions rise following attack after attack, Kodomir, still trying to determine who is attacking and why, suddenly finds itself the target of two imperialist powers, both of whom want Kodomir as a stepping stone towards the other. As foreign fleets in orbit overhead eye one another, diplomats and intelligence officers race to find the key to the lock that will save Kodomir from being ground to dust between the two powers. Part of the solution may be a disgraced militia captain named Gwielgi, self-exiled to the planet's Portaka desert. Mercenary's Honor is the second of the Wild Geese novels. Like the first, Mercenary's Heart, it examines adult themes. Honor and what is done in its name is at the core of this account of war in the 29th Century. The deliberately developed cultures of Kodomir and that of the Currahee and even Kodomir's enemies, real and potential, come into play as the Kodomiri struggle with a war that could lead to their annihilation. Steven M. Silver's own background as Marine, Soldier, historian, and psychologist serves to ground the Wild Geese science-fiction novels in reality. In addition to the Wild Geese novels, he wrote the Ellen Parker thriller series, beginning with A Dangerous Man.
