I can recommend The Ethos Effect by L. E. Modesitt Jr. (Sci-Fi). It's character driven and revolves (at least from a story standpoint) around the main character Commander Van Albert. Unfortunately, this particular Modesitt novel is only sold in paperback. If you like The Ethos Effect, then you could try reading the related novel The Eternity Artifact which also takes place in roughly the same universe.
