I second John Scalzi's Old Man's War books. He has four of them so far, and they're awesome. I just read them all a couple weeks ago.

Also, Richard K. Morgan's novels about Takeshi Kovacs -- Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, and Woken Furies -- are extremely good, if frightening.

Oh, and Charles Sheffield has some good books as well. His Starfire and Aftermath, about a serial killer and a bunch of other people whose lives are changed forever Alpha Centauri B goes supernova and blasts the earth with radiation and clumps of matter, are extremely good. Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a romantic hard science fiction novel, which is kinda hard to pull off but I think he did a great job.

And of course pretty much anything by Larry Niven.
