There's an interesting book by Kevin O'Donnell Jr. -- the title, alas,
escapes me -- that
pits humanity against an extremely agressive alien race, who appears to
be attacking for
no good reason.  As it turns out, the aliens are using the relatively
low-tech human
troops to train their soldiers for the war against the REAL enemy, on
the far side of
space.

Fun book.  Kinda space-operatic, but nothing wrong with that.  I'll look
up the title when
I get home, if anyone is interested.
