Synopsis

The alien forces known as the Lankies are gathering on the solar system’s edge, consolidating their conquest of Mars and setting their sights on Earth. The far-off colony of New Svalbard, cut off from the rest of the galaxy by the Lanky blockade, teeters on the verge of starvation and collapse. The forces of the two Earth alliances have won minor skirmishes but are in danger of losing the war. For battle-weary staff sergeant Andrew Grayson and the ragged forces of the North American Commonwealth, the fight for survival is entering a catastrophic new phase.Forging an uneasy alliance with their Sino-Russian enemies, the NAC launches a hybrid task force on a long shot: a stealth mission to breach the Lanky blockade and reestablish supply lines with Earth. Plunging into combat against a merciless alien species that outguns, outmaneuvers, and outfights them at every turn, Andrew and his fellow troopers could end up cornered on their home turf, with no way out and no hope for reinforcement. And this time, the struggle for humanity’s future can only end in either victory or annihilation.

What is it about third books in Space Opera that always brings us back home to Sol for a shootout for the fate of Earth? Just curious. :) Kloos is piecing together the fractured forces of humanity and is giving us a very, very slight hope against all these overwhelming odds. Oh, who am I kidding? Peop......more

Well, the solid waste has really collided with rotary impeller... Earth is about all that's left. Only a few scattered colonies that are now on their own and Earth remain to humans. The Lankies have taken Mars and it's only a matter of time before Earth comes in for their attention. And the elite who'......more

Goodreads review by Mr. Matt on May 25, 2015

I violated a cardinal rule of reviewing. Work was busting my ass so I didn't get around to reviewing this book for way too long. I read it. It was pretty darn good, but there were parts I kinda sorta didn't care for. Specifically what those were, I'm not 100% sure any longer. it was, however, a soli......more

Goodreads review by Gary on October 20, 2016

The third entry in this reliably fast paced and addictive series doesn't break any new ground, but Kloos has ironed out the kinks from his early missteps and turned Frontlines into a well oiled machine. This is military action at its best, with a nice character-centered balance to give the story som......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on April 26, 2015

Jesus christ, you figured out how to kill them at the end of last book, why didn't a) anyone else figure out something so simple, or b) do it again? Every time they turn up I think "aha, let's just fill a ship with water and use its magic engine that doesn't appear to require fuel to reach 1% of lig......more
