Hmm, more David Weber. David Weber is good and entertaining, but sometimes one feels like something a little different. For reference, I also greatly enjoyed books by Vernor Vinge and would highly recommend them, "The Peace War", "A Deepness in the Sky", "A Fire Upon the Deep". Completely unlike Weber, but still quite cool SF with plenty of high-tech conflict, with an emphasis on information warfare and intrigue.
