Today’s the day: CENTERS OF GRAVITY, book 8 in the Frontlines series, is out and available for purchase today.
If you pre-ordered the book, you should find it in your mailbox, Audible library, or on your Kindle (or maybe all three, in which case GO YOU.)
This is (for now) the final of the Andrew Grayson books. Note that I am not saying it’s the final Frontlines book. There are more stories to be told in that universe, and you will find out more about that very soon. It’s almost certainly not the last time you get to come across Andrew and Halley.
Thank you for sticking with me and Andrew through nine years and eight books, and I hope you’ll stick around for what comes next. I promise to make it worth your while.
Love the book. Love the series. Hope you can write more in this universe. Been having some hard times, having books like this is a treat.
Finally. Nothing got in my way. I’m done with COG. Brilliant but damn I didn’t see that coming ending (and hey, everyone likes a happy ending, mostly). So where do you go from here in that universe? I’m sure gregarious Dmitry gets into his own memorable troubles. Hard ass Lt. Col. Cambell certainly sounds like she won’t be putting the white flag down anytime soon. Anything is possible. Cheers.
This series is so damn good. Happily lose sleep with each new instalment.
I love this series. I might have to re-read to find out what happened to Sgt. Fallon though.
Just finished Center of Gravity and wished I had read slower, because now it’s over. Mr. Kloos, thank you for this most excellent series! I thoroughly enjoyed each and every book, and now I look forward to re-reading the entire series again. My sincere appreciation for your work. Again, thank you sir!
Please don’t stop! My friend turned me on to the Frontlines books and I have listened non-stop over the last couple months. I am on chapter 6 of book 8. I know there are major turns coming up, but I also know we can’t wait years to hear more. Please keep going. I am so invested in your characters and need the closure…. You are an amazing writer who has managed to make a science fiction series that isn’t corny. Please don’t make us wait!
Excellent story. Thank you for writing it!!
Great read as always – but we need a conclusion to the Lanky war – when can we have it?
Good stuff. Well done.
Thank you Marko for this absolutely epic series. I have followed it from the start, from Andrtew Graysons beginnings a s raw recruit, through the TA, into the Navy, a Nueral Networks Op, then a Combat Controller, eagerly waiting for each new book. Centers of Gravity was Bittersweet, it brought about the closure to that arc … but left me sad as well, like saying farewell to an old friend. All great series should do that to a reader I think, and that’s how you can tell that this is a truly magnificent series.
BUT … now I see that there are more Frontlines to come, and the possibility we encounter Andrew Grayson and Dana Halley, and I feel a frisson of excitement, a return …. and I again eagerly await what is to come.
Thank you
Just finished CofG. Loved it and the whole Frontlines series. The storyline, action and especially the character relatability is outstanding. At the far end of the curve for this genre. The wrap up for Andrew and Hailey was very satisfying, but I sincerely hope there is more to come in this universe. I gotta know that the Lankies “deal” is!
I enjoyed the enjoyed Centers of Gravity and the entire Frontline series. The audiobooks were really great and I appreciated that the narrator Eric G. Dove worked to narrate the last 2 novels in the same style as Luke Daniels. I like that there is a closure to Andrew’s and Halley’s stories, but there is room in the future for how humanity will deal with the Lanky’s.
Thanks for the journey, it was a damn good one.
Frontlines series is what got me through opiate withdrawal, thank you Mark.
I’ve only ever cried at one book before (Dumbledore dying) but now that makes two! What a beautiful ending, and the action/suspense in the first half of the book is well up there among the best stuff I’ve ever read. So glad the Aftershocks giveaway on Amazon First Reads introduced me to this series, and I really hope we’ll get to see more of the lankies (I’d pay money to watch Idina vs Lankies). Also Harper is a #?!@&* (but I love the conviction to not give any closure on that particular relationship!)
Well, I cried.
I hope that the characters are developed further in other novels, because while this is a beautiful novel of a military career, complete with the pain, lack of recognition and unspoken heroism that we see reported throughout recent world history, it feels as if the characters deserve more than a pseudo-historical retelling.
That’s pure sappy storytelling speaking of course, but I don’t think it’s any less true.
I hope that the next series can grasp the bull by it’s horns and provide more complete closure – I understand why this has been avoided at several points, it’s been a long and changing real world decade, at the very least.
But while I cried, I am left feeling like the autobiography was left incomplete.
