Finished what are probably my final two books of 2013:

The Anvil by S.M. Stirling and David Drake. The third book in the "General" series sees Raj Whitehall continue his mission to reunite the planet Bellevue, 1000 years after its collapse into semi-barbarism following the fall of an interstellar empire. This is the first of three books in a Baen omnibus edition called "Conqueror", which I see that I bought in March 2003.

Inferno by Dan Brown. Rather to my surprise, I really enjoyed this. An enormous improvement over his previous book "The Lost Symbol". A rollercoaster ride of a thriller set in Italy, and (as the title suggest) having as its central theme the epic poem "Inferno" by Dante Alighieri. Highly recommended.

Paul - you said you weren't sure whether or not "The General" series had previous been released by Baen as eBooks. Checking back, I see that the first two books in the series were released as an omnibus called "Warlord" in Feb 2003, and the final three books as "Conqueror" in March 2003.
