it may not be military per se (or at least not to the same intensity as Weber) but Peter F Hamilton writes good books I believe and they tend to have wars in them by by which I refer to the "NightsDawn Trilogy" and "Pandoras Star". As a speed reader I appreciate Trilogies where each volume is 1000 pages.

Edit: however having said that I now recall one problem I once heard on Weber was characters being killed off, which does happen in Hamiltons book albeit they tend to be cloned and the braintape put back in.
