Historia
The Alliance has been fighting the Syndics for a century—and losing badly. Now its fleet is crippled and stranded in enemy territory. Their only hope is a man who’s emerged from a century-long hibernation to find he has been heroically idealized beyond belief… Captain John “Black Jack” Geary’s legendary exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic “last stand” in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead. But a century later, Geary miraculously returns from survival hibernation.

Across the six-planet expanse of the Gaia System, the Earthlike Gretia struggles to stabilize in the wake of an interplanetary war. Amid an uneasy alliance to maintain economies, resources, and populations, Aden Robertson reemerges. After devoting fifteen years of his life to the reviled losing side, with the blood of half a million casualties on his hands, Aden is looking for a way to move on. He’s not the only one. A naval officer has borne witness to inconceivable attacks on a salvaged fleet. A sergeant with the occupation forces is treading increasingly hostile ground.

Historia
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

Historia
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Go to war or go to jail. For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple.... He has no family, no friends, no place in the world...nothing to lose. When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hit man, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy. Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy.

The first book of best-selling sci-fi author Jack Campbell’s new series Beyond the Frontier returns to find Captain John “Black Jack" Geary, the hero of the Lost Fleet series, awoken from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet. Geary’s legendary exploits have earned him the adoration of the people—and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing.

Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

To survive against this enemy, Captain Tad Thatcher will have to do more than learn how to become an effective commander, or how to wrangle his wayward crew. He will need to reinvent space combat. From scratch.

Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Resumen del Editor
“There is nobody who does [military SF] better than Marko Kloos. His Frontlines series is a worthy successor to such classics as Starship Troopers, The Forever War, and We All Died at Breakaway Station.” - George R. R. Martin
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service.
With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth. But as he starts a career of supposed privilege, he soon learns that the good food and decent health care come at a steep price...and that the settled galaxy holds far greater dangers than military bureaucrats or the gangs that rule the slums.
The debut novel from Marko Kloos, Terms of Enlistment is an addition to the great military sci-fi tradition of Robert Heinlein, Joe Haldeman, and John Scalzi.
Revised edition: This edition of Terms of Enlistment includes editorial revisions.

Historia
Ed Macy had always dreamed of a career in the army, so when the British Army Air Corps launched its attack helicopter program, Macy bent every rule in the book to make sure he was the first to sign up to fly the Apache—the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the world and the toughest to fly. In 2007, Macy's Apache squadron was dispatched to Afghanistan's notorious Helmand Province with the mission to fight alongside and protect the men on the ground by any means necessary.

With more than half a million copies sold, Robert Mason's Chickenhawk is one of the best-selling books ever written about the Vietnam War. Fascinated with flying from a young age, Mason earned his private pilot's license even before graduating high school. He enlisted in the army in 1964 and endured an extremely challenging "weeding out" process in an effort to fly helicopters. Sent to Vietnam, he survived more than 1,000 air combat missions despite the violence and brutality exploding all around him.

He didn't expect the murderer to look just like him, and he definitely didn't expect to be the one to take the blame. But his wife had control of a powerful secret. A secret that stretches across the light years between two worlds and could lead to the end of both. Now that secret is in Nathan's hands, and he's about to make the most desperate evasive maneuver of his life.

Hailed as the finest combat aviation novel to emerge from the Vietnam War, Flight of the Intruder spent 28 weeks on the New York Times hardcover best-seller list and became one of the top-20 best-selling first novels of all time. An instant classic, the book was translated into more than 20 languages and made into a major motion picture. Its hero, Jake Grafton, became a household name and the star of many more Coonts’ best-sellers. Without question, the strength of the book lies in its flying scenes when Jake Grafton straps himself into the cockpit of his A-6 Intruder.

Before that date, Max became an expert on battle tactics, the psychology of command and leadership, the customs and fighting techniques of the mysterious and powerful Vaaach race, and more. In June 2304, the 16-year-old green Ensign Max Robichaux is given a small but fast and stealthy ship to penetrate enemy space, observe a mock attack on a new kind of enemy battle station, and return with information on the station, enemy weapons, enemy tactics, and other valuable intelligence.

As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces. Turns out I was right about the technology. And about how angry they’d be. But the way they look…that’s more terrifying than even I could have imagined. They look exactly like us. Because they are us.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

TICKET PUNCHER
This came within a hair's breath of getting a 5th star from me. If I was a military sci-fi lover it would have, but I am not a fan of endless shoot-em ups, which is what chapters 10-13 are. Other then that it is a pretty good story, certainly entertaining. It has good character development and I have already bought the sequel. It does not really have anything new, but some old favorites done well.
It's a dystopian future, were most of the country is on welfare. There is the beloved boot camp chapters, a sort of love story, a reenactment of Black Hawk Down, and even Godzilla. It is worth your credit.
Narrator is good.

Makes me wanna read more military sci-fi
I think I might like military sci-fi a little bit more than I thought I did. Seems to me that, lately, I've been reading the books I thought I liked (zombie, apocalyptic) and they are crap, and not reading enough of the books I just casually read (military sci-fi) but like way better...
I read another reviewer who said this book was self-published. That was a bit of a surprise - it is GOOD. And for a self-published book, it is VERY GOOD (have you read some of that drivel?)
There is a great blend of action, detail and setting. No gun porn, women aren't useless, the moralizing is minimal (and not "right-wing" as it usually is in military books) and we actually care about the main character. Sheesh... what more can you ask for? Oh, right, aliens... they're there too!!
I never did read Starship Troopers because I don't read Heinlein on principle, so I have no input on how much this story is like that one... Though, the very fact that Kloos' main character is not full of himself and women are present and intelligent makes me doubt it really is very much like Heinlein's book.
The narrator is very good (actually, I don't really recall him, he just blended into the story), there is no sex or gore and, while someone else said there was swearing, I didn't notice any (but I'm a bit de-sensitized). I bought the next in the series on Audible.

Overall it's a good book.
Any additional comments?
Let's talk about what the book did wrong first. There was hardly any character development and just enough dialogue to not be a narrative. The story skips through time a lot. It's like the author only wants to write the action scenes and just never got back to filling in the spaces between. Even the action scenes leave you hungry for more and it took me a while to figure out why. Without the scenes between the action parts of the story you can't put yourself in the character's shoes and grow detached from the story rather than drawn in. The author should have gone back through and filled in the time between the action scenes. I'm not saying I want a play by play of this guy's life but I feel cheated out of a lot of this story.
The narrator saved this book with his voice acting. The story is a fun one though I wished it had stayed on Earth. I found that the story on Earth was more entertaining than the one the author chose to go with. Like this plot twist hasn't been done a billion times before.

Simple space military cliche told extremely well.
If you could sum up Terms of Enlistment in three words, what would they be?
Space. Marines. Fighting.
Would you be willing to try another book from Marko Kloos? Why or why not?
Yes, because he created a space marine that actually felt like a person I could bump into at the bus stop. There is something to be said for an author that can do that with a cliche, make it work and make an audience want more of it.
Which scene was your favorite?
There is a seen where the main character does something to defend himself and his team, realizes that seconds later that it had horrible consequences, and gets unfocused and disturbed by it in ways that nearly get him killed. It was a "Oh crap! God, what did I just do?" moment that seemed well thought out.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There was a simple scene at a hospital when Grayson's squad leader explains the limited economic choices a soldier has once they actually enroll in the military in a universe with practically no non-civilian middle class left on Earth. I'm not sure if I can say it "moved" me but it was interesting to think about.
Any additional comments?
It's the future. A young disgruntled man wants a better life and joins the military. Space marines fight stuff. There is a "surprise" for the main character in space, but it's so basic that no one will be shocked about it. In fact the whole story is basic space military stuff and this book is clearly intended to start a series, but it's so well told by both the narrator and author that it just begs to be finished.
Andrew Grayson is a great character to tell the story around, because he is so normal. He joins the military for a paycheck and a ticket into space and the audience witnesses him stumble around in basic training, get his first assignment, wade through annoying military politics, get a girlfriend, and transfer into space...where something happens that blows the minds of humanity and places him in the middle of a bunch of chaos. The character and his every man goof ups, strengths and naiveté are the big draw here. To often space soldiers of every race, species, age or gender are depicted as being born as all knowing bad-to-the-bone cynics who just want to win the war and do nothing else. Andrew Grayson as a character in such a role is surprisingly practical and flexible in his attitudes and point of view in life. He doesn't seem to know what he is doing and the story is better for it.
Oh, and it's narrated by Luke Daniels who is very good at his job and somehow makes everything sound funnier, so this book is very recommended as an audiobook.
Genre: Sci-fi space marine adventure! Oorah!
Audience: Young Adults / Adults
Next book in "Frontlines" series: Lines of Departure

Entertaining Sci-Fi Story
I started listening to this book mainly because I was looking for more work that was narrated by Luke Daniels. I'm a fan of his work in the Magic 2.0 series and was looking to see how well his work translated to other book series. Not only is Luke Daniels narration work still great, but what I also found was an entertaining sci-fi book that packs in some great action scenes and world building.

Fun book and yet not at all what I expected.
Any additional comments?
WOW. Fun book and yet not at all what I expected. I kept expecting it to be a major war against aliens, which yes eventually aliens do show up and play a role, though their role is minimal in the overall story of the book. It was just a very gripping story of a man enlisted into military and his time spent serving. Marko's vision for the future is brutal and yet also hypnotic. Immediately started reading the second book when I finished.
Luke Daniels is one of the best narrators out there and does an excellent job in his delivery.

Big
What made the experience of listening to Terms of Enlistment the most enjoyable?
The characters.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Terms of Enlistment?
First contact.
What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?
Mr. Daniels is a very good narrator and I have enjoyed his work in a number of books. The Iron Druid series for one.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It mostly just makes me sad. Mainly because I can see the real world in the story and feel the author has hit it dead on.
Any additional comments?
The story is good and the execution is good as well. Mr Daniels narration is as good as ever and I find him very easy to listen to. I definitely recommend this book and the series to anyone looking for a lengthy escape.

The author must have served in the armed services.
The author was able to capture the essence of being a soldier. A must listen for any prior serviceman. More please !
