Lucky Thirteen Frontlines eBook Marko Kloos
I enjoy many different genres, but when military SF is done well, it really stands out in my memory. I’m going to remember this little gem and come back to savor it now and then. It is a wonderful blend of the grim realities of combat, the superstitions that arise among combat units, gritty heroism and honest fear... and the tiny improbable details of life that come to stand for all of it together.If someone on Topatoco were to make a convincing replica of the thing that takes the place of her medal in the box (no spoilers!)I would buy it.

Lucky Thirteen Frontlines eBook Marko Kloos Reviews
I normally don't buy books. I get them for no out of pocket costs from my library. This story was the exception and was worth the money. If you can get the hard cover or paperbacks from your local library, otherwise spend the money and buy all the books in this series.
This is a short story from the "Terms of Enlistment" universe, and I trust that this will be followed up by a sequel to "Terms of Enlistment." This is a very gripping little short story that I could not put down until I finished it. My only gripe is that I wish this had been a full-length novel rather than just a short story. RJB.
It says it's a short story, and surprise! It is!
Which means that it's short. And maybe the characters aren't as fully developed as they might be in a novel. (Although if you've read "Terms of Enlistment" you'll already know Halley.) And maybe the plot isn't long and involved and full of unexpected twists. But that's how a short story works.
And because this story is set in the "Terms of Enlistment" world, it actually fills a rather unique niche - one that I quite like about series books, and one that I reckon more writers could make use of. Stories like this give us a little taste of something outside what we can find in the novels. They keep us interested and, most importantly, entertained while we're waiting for the next instalment.
"Lucky Thirteen" delivers like Karl Malone. It does its job and does it with style. If you enjoyed "Terms" don't miss out on this little slice of action. It might not be a full meal, but it will keep you from starving until the next course arrives.
This is a short story about a combat drop ship in the fairly far future. I think the story is in the same universe as Terms of Enlistment. We are told the back story of the ship from its last commander. The ship survives a few catastophic events where its past crews were lost so it has a infamous rep and it is getting old. The new commander likes the way she flies over the newer versions and because of the slight she gets on a major attack formation she and her new crew are spared in a crippling ambush. All in all I liked this little short story. Good job.
Great little side-story but recommend not to read it until after Chains of Command, after we know Halley better as a character. Missing details like other novels in the series, like why they’re in the Formalhaut system or even what class of ship that they’re on. Would love to see a reunion with her crew chief Staff Sergeant Fisher somewhere in another sequel in the Frontlines series, or maybe the Recon troops with Capt Grayson or some connection to Dimitri maybe through his husband who was part of the pursuing Russians. Lots of possibility here ... overall a quick read that makes a great little sub-story to the Frontlines main story-line.
Maybe next time we’ll be treated to a backstory on Constable Guest and how he ended up on New Svalbard? - that’s a story that must be worth telling!
This long short story demands one's attention right away, keeps it and ends in a thoroughly satisfying manner, with a bit of fun along the way, at least if one accepts certain basic premises, such as the capabilities of weapons and warplanes, the continuing fact of strife expanding into the solar system, etc., as well as the all but primal urge certain people have to not only fight but FLY. Reasonably logical military "feel" of the ambience and the best cover illustration of the series, to my mind. Flyers may be a bit uncomfortable with right-seat command instead of left-seat, as well as Army ranks for all, including "Fleet" personnel, but that does hold through all of Kloos' s works that I've read. Obrigado, Marko, e parabens--thank you and congratulations!
The story stands well on its own, even though it is a short story from author Marko Kloos' 'Frontline / Terms of Enlistment' series.
Engaging narrative where space pilot Lt Halley loves and fights in her Lucky dropship.
Lucky Thirteen was the first story I read in it.
It led me to read the first book, buy and get ready to read the second book.
Enjoy the series!
