Yep. There's also a companion story/prequel, "West of Honour". The two 
books were combined into an omnibus in this country, entitled "Future 
History" -- now, there's _real_ brain-death for you, Dawg; couldn't 
they have come up with a better title than _that?_

Of course, if you like the Pournelle stories, The Mote in God's Eye, 
The Gripping Hand (alias The Moat Around Murcheson's Eye) and King 
David's Spaceship (possibly alias A Spaceship for the King) are worth a 
read -- the latter for some good "ancients"-style ground combat! And 
there's a series of books by other authors that takes Falkenburg's 
Mercenary Legion even further on in time, but I haven't read them.
