An excellent addition to the series. The characters feel very real, and the action sequences are vivid and easy to follow. There is a real sense of the scale of this conflict. I'm looking forward to the next book!

“Fields of Fire” eBook was published in 2017 and was written by Marko Kloos (http://www.markokloos.com). Mr. Kloos has published five novels, this being the 5th of his “Frontlines” series.

I categorize this novel as ‘R’ because it contains scenes of Violence and Mature Language. The story takes place in the future where Earth is under attack by the ‘Lankies”. The primary character is Lieutenant Andrew Grayson.

The ‘Lankies’ have tried a few incursions on Earth, but so far they are being repelled. Now it is time to take the war to them on Mars. Both Grayson and his wife are in the military and are part of the invasion force. Grayson is in the leading edge of the invasion, being part of the ‘pathfinders’ that clear the way for the true invasion force. He finds himself in more than one risky situation with the ‘Lankies’ surprising the Earth force.

I thoroughly enjoyed the nearly 8 hours I spent reading this 304 page Science Fiction novel. I want to go back now and read the previous four in the series. This one read pretty well on its own, but the background would have helped some. I liked the characters in the novel and the plot. The cover art is OK, but only implies warfare. After reading this novel, I would include Mr. Kloos in my list of favorite Science fiction authors. I give this novel a 5 out of 5.

Another outstanding chapter in the Frontlines Series! Kloos has developed into a master storyteller, with interesting plot twists, easy to read style, and surprisingly emotional tugs on your feelings.

Much improved. Sort of the middle of the series but makes me want o read on

Another great novel in Kloos' series! I cannot recommend Kloos or his work high enough.

I'm not usually a fan of military SF, but Kloos has created compelling characters, a great story arc, and has his hand firmly on the rudder in the entire Frontlines series. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who likes SF.

A good continuation of the previous books, a page turner all the way too the end. Those damm cliffhangers tho. Was wishing for a tiny bit more at the end, I gues will have to wait for the next book now.

If you liked any of the previous books, you will like this one.
