Just finished "Cold Steel", by Keith Laumer, the 6th book in Baen's collection of Laumer's "Bolo" stories and novels. This book consists of a novella and a full-length novel, both set on a valuable mining colony on which the human colonists are being attacked by stone-age natives who are being armed with modern weapons by an unknown outside source which has persuaded the natives that it is a god, and the humans devils who must be exterminated.
Excellent military SF, but a lot more than military SF, too. Engaging characters and an excellent plot. Highly recommended, and there's no requirement to have read any of the other "Bolo" books first.
