"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. Martin The 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.
