Synopsis

The time has come to take the fight to the Lankies.Mars has been under Lanky control for more than a year. Since then, the depleted forces of Earth’s alliances have rebuilt their fleets, staffing old warships with freshly trained troops. Torn between the need to beat the Lankies to the punch and taking enough time to put together an effective fighting force, command has decided to strike now.Once again, seasoned veterans Andrew and Halley find themselves in charge of green troops and at the sharp tip of the spear as the combined military might of Earth goes up against the Lankies. But if there’s one constant in war, it’s that no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy…and the Lankies want to hold on to Mars as badly as humanity wants to reclaim it.

Goodreads review by Bradley on December 06, 2017

Quite enjoyable Mil-SF, perfect for all you fans of competence porn. It's all about the light tone and the big guns despite all the losses we've incurred from the aliens.

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on October 17, 2020

Okay, the "Lankies" have been holding Mars a long time now...after almost getting Earth. So, it's maybe time to do something. This is a good series and while it has had a few hiccups that keep me from going to a full 5 stars here it's still good. For some reason I always sort of picture the "Lankies"......more

Goodreads review by Gary on April 07, 2017

Grayson makes some startling discoveries about the Lankies and things build to an epic battle on Mars that does not disappoint. Kloos delivers another near-perfectly structured MilSF adventure. His measured pacing and tone and workmanlike plotting are suited to the characters he writes about; Kloos a......more

Goodreads review by H (no longer expecting notifications) Balikov on June 20, 2017

Frontlines, imagines an Earth that has had contact with another race and it hasn’t gone well. The “Lankies” have discovered that humans have created nice planets that only need a littl......more

Goodreads review by Aristotle on March 30, 2021

Why do i continue with this 3 star series? I like to read while watching March Madness and this is like a bag of Doritos to keep me company without the cheese dust. It's a very very easy read. Very little brain power needed. The guilt you feel after eating the whole bag of Doritos. Empty calories just......more
