About this listen

The assault on Earth was thwarted by the destruction of the aliens' seed ship, but with Mars still under Lanky control, survivors work frantically to rebuild fighting capacity and shore up planetary defenses. Platoon sergeant Andrew Grayson must crash-course train new volunteers—all while dulling his searing memories of battle with alcohol and meds.

Knowing Earth's uneasy respite won't last, the North American Commonwealth and its Sino-Russian allies hurtle toward two dangerous options: hit the Lanky forces on Mars or go after deserters who stole a fleet of invaluable warships critical to winning the war. Assigned to a small special ops recon mission to scout out the renegades' stronghold on a distant moon, Grayson and his wife, dropship pilot Halley, again find themselves headed for the crucible of combat—and a shattering new campaign in the war for humanity's future.

Stand out Sci-iFi Space Opera. This is book is number 4 of 8. If you come across this before the previous 4 PLEASE start at book 1 and I PROMISE you'll end up here remembering my recommendation. Mark Loose has the enviable ability to weave a great tale & Luke Daniels likewise the ability to differentiate caracters that adds the extra dimention that elevates a story from good to great.
Read on (From Book 1 of course) and enjoy.
I could add more blah blah but I have more listening to do. Did I mention that I haven't even finished book 4 yet? Bye!

Stand out Sci-iFi Space Opera.

I’ve listened to all the books in the series up to this point, and although they are all well written by Marko Kloos, Luke Daniels does an exceptional job bringing these characters to life. He puts me right there.

Luke Daniels should narrate everything.

nice continuation

Would you listen to Chains of Command again? Why?

Oh, yes. I intend to revisit the whole series one day

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Although I also have the written books, I highly recommend listening to the audio version with narrator Luke Daniels becoming the voice of Andrew Grayson, the soldier whose life we follow.

Any additional comments?

>This is the fourth book in the excellent Frontlines series by Marko Kloos and as that name suggests, we are again taken to the very heart of the battle. Seen from the point of view of one soldier whose progress we have followed since he first joined the military in Book I, we live through not just the fighting but also his hopes, fears and fun, what little there is of it.
All of the series is well written with clear description and natural dialogue, and characterizations which make everything feel plausible and. real. Luke Daniels narration enhances this feeling - he is Andrew.

I've read the entire frontlines series and highly recommend it to any military sci fi fan. It's one of those series made of very simple elements that are woven together to create something far greater than the sum of its parts.

The introspection of the main character is especially good in this one as he starts to grapple with what it really means to be a leader.

I'm not one for carrying much about relationships in stories, especially ones like this, but Grayson's relationship with Halley serves as a real anchor point throughout the whole series and from this one on I really started to care what happens between them.

I've moaned about Luke Daniel's performance in the previous books as his limited repertoire of voices just felt completely out of place for a serious sci fi tale like this. His higher pitched male voice was particularly grinding, especially when he gave it to Chief Kofka in the 2nd book! he also switched around voices in book 3 which grated badly with me. Credit where it's due though, Daniel's has brought a much more mature performance in this book and dropped most of the silly ones while also bringing some good accent work.

Huge improvement overall from a narration point of view.

Great continuation, narrator improving
