Chains of Command

Frontlines, Book 4

By: Marko Kloos

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

The assault on Earth was thwarted by the destruction of the aliens' seed ship, but with Mars still under Lanky control, survivors work frantically to rebuild fighting capacity and shore up planetary defenses. Platoon sergeant Andrew Grayson must crash-course train new volunteers—all while dulling his searing memories of battle with alcohol and meds.

Knowing Earth's uneasy respite won't last, the North American Commonwealth and its Sino-Russian allies hurtle toward two dangerous options: hit the Lanky forces on Mars or go after deserters who stole a fleet of invaluable warships critical to winning the war. Assigned to a small special ops recon mission to scout out the renegades' stronghold on a distant moon, Grayson and his wife, dropship pilot Halley, again find themselves headed for the crucible of combat—and a shattering new campaign in the war for humanity's future.

Great series

This was very good military science fiction, and a great continuation of the Frontlines series. Can't wait for the next one

Another great one!!

They just keep getting better and better! Love the story! On to the next one :)

Outstanding 4th Book

Any additional comments?

I'm not certain why anyone would give this book anything less than five stars. This one is up there with all the other books in the series -- the plot is compelling, the battle scenes are incredibly written, and it flows well. Kloos really doesn't miss a detail, with the exception of conveniently eliminating the Lazarus Brigade subplot introduced at the end of the 3rd book.

Can't wait for the final book in the series, scheduled for February of 2017.

not a bad book if you can follow the timeline.

perhaps it's just me but as I go through these book it seems like the 90 months of training combat and experience that the main character has gone through, has only gotten him 6 years time in service?

Marko talent is ridiculous

Excellently written that generally had me concern at the end despite knowing what happened in Book 5. I cared about the troops and saddening when one of the pilots didn't make it. Luke Daniels had a near flawless delivery. I think he screwed up a couple of times with MC Fallon but beside that near perfect. I've listened to books 1-5 now this ranks 2nd right behind book 5 with Book 2 third, book 1 4th, and book 3 5th.
