The Regiment Series by John Dalmas

Dalmas has a large and growing readership among military and occult science fiction readers. His special melding of military, historical, and mystical themes has placed him in a class by himself. His latest novel, The Regiment, will appeal to fans of Robert Heinlein and Poul Anderson.

The planet Tyss is so poor that it has only one exportable resource - its fighting men. Each year three regiments are sent forth into the galaxy. Hiring their services is very expensive, but well worth it, for the Tyss secret training makes their soldiers into mystic warriors, irresistible in battle.

This long awaited companion novel to The Regiment finds those legendary warriors training the first test regiment of teenagers--the first ever White Regiment. But teenagers who make the perfect warriors are about as easy to train and control as wildcats. And there's little time to whip them into shape before the horrendous Klestronu unleash their massive firepower on the inexperienced regiment.

From the acclaimed author of the popular "Yngling" series. For centuries, the mercenaries of the planet Tyss have been legendary for their military prowess. But a new legend is born when they bestow their training secrets on the young people, who now face their first assignment as the White Regiment.
