hi there - heres what i remember
it was a two book story i read in the 90's
in the first one a prisoner is sent to a planet for some reason and has a bomb in his neck that will explode if he doesnt contact his ship (maybe)
i think the prisoner hears the computer of the ship as a voice in his head
the planet is a colony of a space faring civilisation but has been in a war and have reverted to a less technologically advance state
the people on the planet are magicians and use their magic to remove the bomb and teach the man magic
i think in the second book people come looking for the prisoner from the first book and they fight them off

I suspect this is The Cyborg and the Sorcerers by Lawrence Watt-Evans. Haven't read the sequel, but I know it has one, and the rest is a match.
