It's not quite hard SF, but certainly has enough advanced technology. You can put on on the same shelf with Heinlein's _Starship Troopers_ and Joe Haldeman's _The Forever War_, though it has some novel twists on the premise.
It's also the first book of a series, and don't assume you know what's going on. Scalzi has a knack for not going where you think he's going, and creating a world that isn't quite what you think it is.
He's doing other things at the moment, but there could be other stories set in that universe down the road.
