Likedthis book is very anti-war in case you're confused orconcerned about that and despite it being two different novellas placedtogether these stories really do Vibe and riff off of each other so theyshould belong in one entire novel
Star soldiers (2001)
Creators: Liked The galactic civilization that considered Earthmen fit only to be their mercenaries in their constant conflicts - and Earthmen were not allowed to go into space in any other role - which wound up with the Earthmen rebelling against the galactic oppressors. After long centuries the last vestiges of the Galactic Union is falling apart and Earthmen are out to make their own stamp upon the galaxy In doing so, one underfunded ship lands on a new world that seems weirdly strange and familiar at the same time. A good read.

Ursula K. Le GuinThe Earth colony of Landin has been stranded on Werel for ten years—& ten of Werel’s years are over 600 terrestrial years. The lonely & dwindling human settlement is beginning to feel the strain. Every winter—a season that lasts for 15 years—the Earthmen have neighbors: the humanoid hilfs, a nomadic people who only settle down for the cruel cold spell. The hilfs fear the Earthmen, whom they think of as witches & call the farborns. But hilfs & farborns have common enemies: the hordes of ravaging barbarians called gaals & eerie preying snow ghouls. Will they join forces or be annihilated?
