Rubicon by Tom Holland.
Not a sci-fi book, but a serious look at the downfall of the SPQR. Very entertaining and well-written.
Erm, the Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy of SW books are good....
Lungbarrow, The Sands Of Time and The Well-Mannered War are all very good DW books, which are available in e-book format on the Beeb webpage. Other good DW books are Matrix, The Face Of The Enemy, and The Tomorrow Windows.
