About the book
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is overflowing. For individuals like Andrew Grayson who rely on welfare, there are limited options to escape the crime-infested and unsanitary welfare housing: winning the lottery for a spot on a colony ship heading to a new world or joining the military.
Unable to rely on the colony lottery, Andrew decides to enlist in the armed forces for a chance at better food, a retirement package, and possibly leaving Earth behind. However, as he embarks on what he believes will be a prosperous career, he soon discovers that the benefits come with a hefty cost and that the settled galaxy is fraught with more dangers than just military bureaucracy or gang control in the slums.
Marko Kloos' debut novel, Terms of Enlistment, continues the esteemed tradition of military science fiction established by authors like Robert Heinlein, Joe Haldeman, and John Scalzi.
Revised edition: This version of Terms of Enlistment has undergone editorial revisions.
Praise for this book
There is nobody who does [military SF] better than Marko Kloos. His Frontlines series is a worthy successor to such classics as Starship Troopers, The Forever War, and We All Died at Breakaway Station.
