Ebook About “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. MartinThe 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.Book Terms of Enlistment (Frontlines Book 1) Review :
It was a fast, action-packed read but didn't get feelings for any of the characters. The book is geared to a younger audience and perhaps those interested in the military? I hoped there would be an appendix of acronyms so I wouldn't have to interrupt my reading to focus on interpreting various initials. As I didn't find this list I've taken it upon myself to provide the meaning of several acronyms:AILS Automated Instrument Landing SystemBNA Basic Nutritional AllowanceCDB Combat Drop BadgeNAC North American CommonwealthNNC Neural Networks CenterNIFTI Navy Infrared Thermal ImagesPDP Personal Data PadPRC Public Relations ClusterSRA Sino-Russian AllianceTA Territorial ArmyTI Tactical InterfaceUWTF Urban-Warfare Training FacilityHonestly, I purchased this 5-book Frontlines series due to the over abundance of positive reviews and the total cost of only $6.25. Prior to purchase I had only read and was pleased with this book's Sample. I haven't read beyond the first book but hope the old adage "you get what you pay for" doesn't apply to the remaining books. If so, my bad! So in the future, Earth has turned into almost the complete social state, with the large majority of people living packed like rats into these welfare tenancies, being fed by the Govt the bare minimum of calories of food. Life is not a life anymore, it is an existence for most of these welfare people, stacked on top of each other in ever increasing and more tightly packed places. Our main character, Andrew Grayson lives in one with his Mother, and pretty much the only way to get out of these places is to sign up for 5yrs with the Military, where at the end, you get a bonus payout. Sounds kind of perfect, you get out of the slums, get fed real food, have a job, and at the end, you have a real sum of money that will allegedly get you out of the slums permanently.So our hero signs up, goes through boot camp, which is the usual torture, except he meets a girl, and then at the end they are all sent to one of the different areas. There is the overly coveted Navy positions, the Marines that work in space either on the ships or on the colonies, or there is the TA, the Terrain Army that stay on Earth and look after home. No one wants the TA as it is looked at as being the worst of the jobs, dealing with the welfare places when they riot etc. Of course, the girl gets Navy, and Andrew gets TA.So the start of this book does have some similarities to Starship Troopers, as a lot of other reviews have said, but that is only because of the boot camp and the girl who goes to Navy. At the end of the day, Andrew ends up with Halley, and they stay in touch, long distance.Andrew goes to TA, finds he loves it, meets his team who become some of his best friends, and realises that the whole space deal is not all it's cracked up to be. The real comparison that should have been made to this book was Black Hawk Down, as part way through the story, a mission to control one of the welfare areas goes wrong, and then a dropship is taken out – and you can almost hear the call ‘We have a Blackhawk down, we have a Blackhawk down’, but instead, it's a dropship down. And all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose, and a large part of this book is taken from the movie, just with more modern tech as they try and rescue the crew of the dropship, and ultimately, rescue themselves in the middle of a PRC that has gone to the darkside.Not to say that was a bad thing. This was a good introduction of the Characters, the concept of the various elements such as the Navy, the TA, and some of the characters that are key to the story in this and future stories. It also gives a good understanding of the background of Earth and its current predicament, especially things like the PRCs, I mean, we complain about welfare now, but Kloos’ future makes now sound like a fairy-tale in comparisonKloos has a good understanding of Military tactics and operations, and describes them well in the story, making this a good Military Sci-fi read. Well worth the read, I am into part 3 already, they keep getting better as they go on.
