Publisher's summary

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 end only in either victory or annihilation.

Military Tech and Action

The third book in a military sci-fi series where the action comes straight at you with both barrels blazing. The series’ fourth book will be published next Spring, but I am burned out and other listeners will take my place as I fall to the side; charred and crispy.

Not done with Andrew and Hailee yet

I enjoyed the book a lot but the ending left me wanting for more it doesn't feel like the characters stories are done and I really hope that Marko Kloos continues with these characters

Interesting

Got this on a whim months ago and finally listened to it thinking it would be junk. I was pleasantly surprised that it was very good, edge of your seat stuff!

Third times the charm.

Any additional comments?

3rd times the charm, well actually they've all been great. This is yet another solid entry into what is an excellent series. I love that I never know where the story is going to go. The stories are galaxy reaching and yet also intimate in a way. Quite curious how the next one will go, especially given the ending.

Luke Daniels once again shows why is one of the best narrators out there.

not bad

Not as good as the other books so far, but the main plot hole is the author needed to double check some of his physics. Even the mad up scifi physics had some plot holes. still a good book.

Three books in, still great

Among the many straightforward military SF series I've started, Marko Kloos's "Frontlines" is one of the few I've stuck with. Three books in, it is not slumping, and while it does show signs of developing into the Perpetual War That Goes On Forever, there has so far been a significant upping of stakes in each book, without feeling like we are just treading water.

In the last book, Grayson and his combined detachment of Fleet personnel and exiled Home Defense troops had been abandoned on a ice world in the Fomalhaut system, managed to destroy a Lanky seedship, and formed a hasty alliance with the surviving remnants of their Sino-Russian adversaries.

In Angles of Attack, SSG Grayson has to work with a Russian counterpart on a mission to fly through the transfer point back to Earth on a small "cloaked" ship, hopefully to find out what the situation is back home and then bring back reinforcements.

Once they arrive, they discover, unsurprisingly, that everything is even more FUBAR back in the Sol system than it is in Fomalhaut. The Lankies have already taken Mars and an attack on Earth is inevitable, and the Fleet is not just uncooperative but hostile to the returning ship asking for help.

This book was a great combination of politics, space warfare, and ground combat, with plenty of characters and subplots left for future use. The war against the Lankies is, of course, not resolved in this book. Andrew Grayson's career continues to take unexpected turns, but unlike many similar series, he remains an NCO - so far, he doesn't seem to be on a path to becoming a starship captain or eventual admiral; he's just a ground-pounder at heart. Kloos captures the "months of boredom punctuated by moments of screaming terror" that characterizes being a soldier, and while I do hope he has a wrap-up for this series in mind, it remains on my must-read list.

Loved the story,

Hope another one is made, after all the battle was won but the war is yet to be finished.
