Listen up, Frontlines fans: Echoes of Silence, a Frontlines novella, is now available in Kindle and paperback formats.
(Edited to add: the paperback version is currently under review but should show up as available for purchase on the product page at some point today.)
When special operations Major Andrew Grayson and NACS Washington disappear without a trace during a clandestine mission to the Capella system, his wife, Lieutenant Colonel Halley, is left reeling. With Andrew’s whereabouts unknown, she settles in for a long and agonizing wait as their lives together are put on hold.
This is Halley’s personal journal, started shortly after Andrew’s disappearance. It chronicles the highs and lows of her life without him as the silence of his absence stretches out over months and then years. The journal that begins as a reluctantly obeyed order from her military therapist becomes Halley’s sounding board for her joys and fears, a record of all the big and small events that shape her life as she waits for Andrew to come home.
Author’s Note: Echoes of Silence is told in epistolary format. This is a collection of Halley’s diary entries that cover the timespan of the Frontlines novels Orders of Battle and Centers of Gravity. To understand the references in this novella and to avoid spoilers, it’s recommended to have read Orders of Battle (Frontlines #7) and Centers of Gravity (Frontlines #8) first.
This one was in the works for quite a while, and it ended up one humdinger of a novella at almost 40,000 words. Halley’s thoughts and musings during Andrew’s long absence include a fair bit of new information about the Lankies that expands on some of Andrew and Elin Vandenberg’s discoveries in Orders of Battle and Centers of Gravity. In the reading order, that makes Echoes of Silence Frontlines 8.5.
If that sounds like your cup of favorite hot breakfast beverage, you can pick up your very own copy right now, for less than the price of half an hour of city parking!
I’m about halfway through Echoes of Silence and it is heartbreakingly beautiful. I simultaneously want to get to the end I know is coming and don’t want it to ever end.
What a lovely comment. Thank you! My co-author appreciates it as well.
Hi, picked this up yesterday to scratch the itch until Corvus comes out. As ever, awesome stuff. BTW, I thought your cover could do with an upgrade and AI and I have put one together in keeping with the other Frontlines ones. Nothing asked for in return, I just enjoy playing around with AI art. Let me know if you want to take a look, and happy to modify it however you want.
What a glorious suprise! Can’t wait to read and will order soon.
Hope all is well!
Thanks can’t wait! Will it be coming out as a audiobook in the future too?
We’ll see if Audible wants the rights.
Thank you for this excellent addition to the Frontline series. Very different but equally enjoyable from other books in the series, and the different viewpoint and style were a nice contrast. You make a good writing team.
Bought and will be started this evening! My Friday night treat. Been keenly awaiting this and Corvus (pre-ordered).
Just bought a copy. It’ll have to do until the ‘big guy’ comes out next month.
Yeah … I have been re-reading the Frontline series in anticipation of this release … ordered!
will the book be released in Europe ?
As far as I know, it should be available worldwide.
thanks i ordered it through Amazon.De
Just ordered a print copy
When is the follow on to Centers of Gravity coming? He’s been stuck out there too long.
Al-HAMdulillah! At LAST!
(THANX!!!)
Congrats on release day! Can’t wait to read it! Thanks for being you and making phenomenal material for us to read and listen to.
Where can I obtain a paperback copy? Thanks.
Purchased! I am reading James Tarr’s latest Dogsoldiers book, but will read this one soon.
Timing cannot be better!
I finished today re-reading the entire Frontline series!
This new book gets directly on the top of my list!
Been looking forward to this so much! Halley was always one of my favourite characters.
It’s been a while since I’ve read Frontlines, and have been itching to reread them (the the third time). This is enough to push me into it, and I look forward to slotting this in during my reading!
