Fire with Fire by Charles E. Gannon
I don’t read a lot of military science fiction, and Fire With Fire is definitely military SF. It’s also an intelligence thriller and a first-contact story, at least part of the time. Charles E. Gannon’s book was good fun, but could have been forty pages shorter (limiting the verbiage of the talking heads) without losing anything, and the main character was a problem.
Caine Riordan, the hero of Fire with Fire, is a little like Jack Ryan from the old Tom Clancy books.
