In the tradition of the old "Ace Doubles" two-in-one books (flip
one over to read the second title) -- here is the fifth Wildside
Double: the two-volume "War Surplus" series by Lawrence Watt-Evans,
"The Cyborg and the Sorcerers" and "The Wizard and the War
Machine."
THE CYBORG AND THE SORCERERS
The cyborg code-named "Slant" was sent out as an Independent
Reconnaissance Unit during an interstellar war between Earth and
its colonies. The fighting ended three hundred years ago, but
Slant's computer does not admit this -- he is compelled to carry on
as if the war were still raging.
Then he comes across a planet where his sensors register
''gravitational anomalies.'' The computer interprets these as enemy
weapons research.
The local inhabitants call the anomalies ''magic.''
THE WIZARD AND THE WAR MACHINE
At the end of The Cyborg and the Sorcerers, Sam Turner was
making a life for himself on the planet Dest. He thought he had
left the long-lost interstellar war between Earth and its
rebellious colonies behind him forever.
"Forever" turned out to be eleven years. That was how long it
took for another Independent Reconnaissance Unit to respond to the
distress call his ship had sent before it was destroyed.
And this one made his own berserk killer computer look
sane.
