Chains of Command

Executive Summary: Once again Mr. Kloos took the story in an entirely different direction than I expected, but this turned out to be an excellent choice for my December road trip home.Audiobook: Another excellent job by Luke Daniels. If he keeps this up, I'll run out of nice things to say. This is a series that works well in audio.Full ReviewAbout this time last year, I didn't know anything about this series. It's quickly become one of my favorites. I did find the start a bit of a letdown of sorts because it seemed to completely neglect the things I was expecting it to be about. It turns out there was a good reason for that. I was completely wrong about the direction this book would take. I do hope he comes back to address some of these details later, but unless I'm completely wrong again, that won't likely be in the next volume.

It's easily the second best, as Mr. Kloos's writing seems to improve with each book.I really love the characters, and the level of technology. Even though it's Science Fiction, I feel like some of the stuff here is very relevant and at times this book feels like it could happen in the not too distance future. Well, maybe minus the ridiculously large alien race that wants to destroy us.While not a very upbeat story, I still found it fun. It's a quick read with lots of action a lot of room to explore things beyond military battles. I'm very eager to read [b:Fields of Fire 30243858 Fields of Fire (Frontlines, #5) Marko Kloos https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1480850507s/30243858.jpg 50708771] next month.
