Fields of Fire

Executive Summary: Another good entry in this series, although I didn't like it quite as much as [b:Chains of Command 25648897 Chains of Command (Frontlines, #4) Marko Kloos http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1457383836s/25648897.jpg 45468301]. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book though.Audiobook: Part of what sold me on this series in the first place was that [a:Luke Daniels 2978188 Luke Daniels http://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1331514576p2/2978188.jpg] was the narrator. Another excellent job as usual. He continues to be one of my favorite narrators.Full ReviewEvery book I have certain expectations about what it will be about, and every time Mr. Kloos seems to catch me by surprise. I was totally expecting this book to focus right in on Mars, but I was wrong. It did get there however.Of course five books in, it's always tough to review a book without getting into spoiler territory. I will say that while I thought this book would start moving the series towards a conclusion, now I'm not sure. That's OK though, because I've really been enjoying these books. While I found Andrew pretty unlikable in the first book, he continues to show growth as a character and has become easy to root for. The supporting characters are all pretty great too, especially Halley, Dimitri and Sgt. Fallon. I'd have liked more with Sgt. Fallon, but I was happy to get a lot of Dimitri to make up for it.This book started off with a bang, but slowed down a bit for several chapters, before cranking the action all the way up to eleven. This is definitely more military fiction than Space Opera.I'm curious to see what direction this series will take in the next book. I have a terrible track record so far in predicting what Mr. Kloos will do next, but so far it's been a really fun ride.
