Finished "The Hero" by John Ringo and Michael Z. Williamson, which I bought from Baen in 2004.
A bit of an oddball, this one. It's part of Ringo's "Posleen War" series but, uniquely among the 12 or so books that make up the series, this one is set 1000 years in the future, and describes an event insignificant in the overall scheme of things: a covert infiltration by a small reconnaissance team onto an uncolonised planet on which it's thought a hidden military base may have been constructed by a hostile alien race.
Very good military SF. You could easily read this is a standalone novel: there's minimal reliance on any knowledge of what's happened previously in the series.
Recommended.
