This is for fans of hard military scifi. The CLD is a division of "criminals" forced into service as cannon-fodder by a totalitarian regime. Abandoned on planet by the military when an invasion is hopelessly bungled, the CLD is forced to fight to return to their jailers.
This is an extremely brutal book. The humor is black as pitch, the characterizations are excellent, the action is well-described, and the setting is completely believable (despite being on an alien planet). Years later, I still think of this book, so it would seem that it is very memorable as well.
