Although it's the first book in a series, it can be read as a completely standalone novel. Really very, very good indeed. It's available from the Baen Free Library.
The paid-for version of the book, which is what I read, also contains a (long) novella called "Sword Brother", set in the same universe, which was also very enjoyable. This isn't included in the version of the book that's in the Free Library.

I confess, I read the first one quite a while ago. And then tried to read later books in the series and somehow abandoned them. Not sure if it was conjunctural or if the later books just weren't up to the first. Though I admit, I only gave the first 3 stars.
