A great author and I have all his books. He has an interesting way of writing which adds to your reading pleasure. Most of his hero's have exceptional hearing and thus can hear what people are saying about them and these wee asides do add to his writing style.
He is very well known for his Recluce series of books where through a space battle a space ship and their crew get thrown through space and just happen to end up above the planet Recluce where all power is lost to their spaceship. They have no option but to land on the planet to survive. The planet is populated but only to iron age working technology. There is however magic in the air and some of the crew find that they can use this magic to heal and create "order" in things. They are opposed by the white order that can use chaos to thrown fire bolts to destroy things.
