The Black Company

This book takes place in a medieval world with swords and magic, but no gunpowder. Told from the viewpoint of a warrior medic in a military group similar to the Foreign Legion in that the members are all running from their past. It sounds more interesting than it is. In my opinion, the story gets bogged down with troop movements and the fact that, as mercenaries, they're fighting on the side of evil - but that's inevitable since there is no ‘good' to side with in this world.
