I bought it via the Baen e-subscription, so I have a copy on hard drive.
It had the immediate consequence of having me show up to work after not having slept because I couldn't stop reading. I hadn't done that since college (approx 30 years), and I had forgotton what a poor idea that was. I somehow managed to stay awake the next evening long enough to finish it.
The Paladin of Shadows series (Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain and Unto the Breach, but not the latest volume A Deeper Blue) are available online here:

Totally reccomended.
I just ordered it from Amazon.
A bit of it is in the last Ghost paperback book.
I just finished reading it a few days ago and quite enjoyed it.
It is a fabulous book.
The story is so-so. But the implied economics and planning lessons are brilliant.
+1 on TLC and the Paladin of Shadows series...
The first chapters of The Last Centurion are available online:

These are not pirate copies. Jim Baen believed that putting this material out for free results in increased sales overall, and he was proven right.
It is a great book and he is a great author.
