Series: Frontlines

Vicious interstellar conflict with an indestructible alien species. Bloody civil war over the last habitable zones of the cosmos. Political unrest, militaristic police forces, dire threats to the solar system…

Humanity is on the ropes, and after years of fighting a two-front war with losing odds, so is Commonwealth Defence Corps officer Andrew Grayson. He dreams of dropping out of the service one day, alongside his pilot girlfriend, but as warfare consumes entire planets and conditions on Earth deteriorate, he wonders if there will be anywhere left for them to go.

After surviving a disastrous space borne assault, Grayson is reassigned to a ship bound for a distant colony — and packed with malcontents and troublemakers. His most dangerous battle has just begun.

In this sequel to the bestselling Terms of Enlistment, a weary soldier must fight to prevent the downfall of his species…or bear witness to humanity's last, fleeting breaths

Reviews for Lines of Departure (#2 Frontline)

Much like Scalzi's Old Man's War and its sequels, Terms of Enlistment and Lines of Departure are combat-grade military SF, and should come with an addiction warning. -io9 Frontlines is earnest, optimistic, and fun, even as it deals with subject matter that's intrinsically grim. It's a story that strikes the perfect balance between escapism and serious reflection, and it's the perfect military sci-fi series to escape into for a week or two. -The Verge
