If you like military sci-fi with a definitely old-school gunpowder feel, definitely try S.M. Stirling's "The General" series. These books are available through the Baen web site as well. They are compiled together in two volumes. "Warlord" and "Conqueror" are both priced very reasonably.

These books are loosely based on the life of Belisarius, the great Byzantine general, but set in a universe where a federation of worlds has fallen upon a dark period following a civil war.

In addition, pick up the sequel "The Chosen." It is a great continuation of the series.
