Stranded Justice — Steven L. Hawk

Eli Justice is a highly decorated captain in the Shiale Rangers. His training, instincts, and experience set him apart from other soldiers, and enable him to succeed where others fail. When his ship gets shot down during a routine scouting mission, Eli finds himself stranded and alone on a dangerous, untamed world. Reports of the planet being uninhabited were obviously wrong, and the need to alert the alliance of the hostile presence is critical. In order to alert the alliance, though, the ranger first has to survive whatever the planet can throw at him. Welcome to the jungle.
