A few of my personal favorites:
Roland Green
Peace Company, The Mountain Walks, Those Green Foreign Hills
The Starcruiser Shennandoah -series (6 books I believe) to
include
Squadron Alert.
Robert Frezza
A Small Colonial War, Fire In A Faraway Place
David Weber
Crusade, Insurrection, In Death Ground (all based in the
Starfire universe)
The Honor Harrington -series to include On Basilisk Station and
A Short
Victorious War.
Hope those are of some help.
