A few books that I have read lately and enjoyed.
A Long Time Until Now by Michael Z. Williamson.
A small military unit is thrust back into Paleolithic times with only their guns and portable hardware.
Quote:

Ten soldiers on convoy in Afghanistan suddenly find themselves lost in time. Somehow, they arrived in Earth's Paleolithic Asia. With no idea how they arrived or how to get back, the shock of the event is severe. They discover groups of the similarly displaced: Imperial Romans, Neolithic Europeans, and a small cadre of East Indian peasants. Despite their technological advantage, the soldiers only have ten people, and know no way home. Then two more time travelers arrive from a future far beyond the present. These time travelers may have the means to get back, but they aren't giving it up. In fact, they may have a treacherous agenda of their own, one that may very well lead to the death of the displaced in a harsh and dangerous era.

But, this is not your typical take over and make a better world time travel book. This book does have some action, but it is more concerned with how they manage to survive and the problems inherent in not having a tech base.
I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

I also read both of Mike Shepherd's (Mike Moscoe) Vicky Peterwald books, Target and Survivor. This is a spin off of his popular Kris Longknife Series. I enjoyed both as I have the Kris Longknife Series. I recommend both. I enjoy watching as Vicky Peterwald grows from spoiled princess to a mature leader.

I also just finished Joshua Dalzelle's first two books of his Black Fleet Trilogy. The third is due out later this year and I am looking forward to it. If you like Military Science Fiction you should enjoy this trilogy.
