    [synopsis] => "Military science fiction [concentrating] on the psychology and politics of societies in conflict." -Analog, on the Confederated Worlds series
The Confederated Worlds implanted in Tomas' brain the skills to make him a soldier.
He had to learn for himself how to survive interstellar war.
Tomas Neumann sought escape from his backwater planet and overbearing mother, and a mentor to replace his long-dead father. "Taking the shilling"-enlisting in the Confederated Worlds military-promised both.
But despite the soldier's skills implanted in his brain, combat against fellow humans, especially ones who should have welcomed him as a liberator, threatened to destroy him, in body and in spirit.
Grieing for lost comrades, demoralized by harrowing combat, could Tomas learn what he needed to survive, before facing his war's ultimate challenge?
Take the Shilling is the first book in The Confederated Worlds series.
