About this listen
Vicious interstellar conflict with an indestructible alien species. Bloody civil war over the last habitable zones of the cosmos. Political unrest, militaristic police forces, dire threats to the solar system...
Humanity is on the ropes, and after years of fighting a two-front war with losing odds, so is Commonwealth Defense Corps officer Andrew Grayson. He dreams of dropping out of the service one day, alongside his pilot girlfriend, but as warfare consumes entire planets and conditions on Earth deteriorate, he wonders if there will be anywhere left for them to go.
After surviving a disastrous spaceborne assault, Grayson is reassigned to a ship bound for a distant colony - and packed with malcontents and troublemakers. His most dangerous battle has just begun.
In this sequel to the best-selling Terms of Enlistment, a weary soldier must fight to prevent the downfall of his species...or bear witness to humanity’s last, fleeting breaths.

Needs Editing
Good steady stories.
Its well established that Sgt Fallon is female yet several times is refered to as 'he'. The narration is ok in general, but the character voices really need some work. the characters either sound hoarse and nasaly or like salivating hillbillies. Overall the narrator spends too much time voicing these books as if they are comedies.
"he rolls her eyes' the narrator is being paid too much.

Enjoyable military sci-fi
The second of the series, I was keen to listen after enjoying the first. It’s ok, the story continues after first contact. The protagonist is older, wiser, higher rank. There’s no great character development and the story is quite basic, but I liked it well enough. I won’t be racing to get the third in the series, but will probably get to it eventually.
The narrator was pretty good… except for the continuing mistake of interchanging he/she for one of the main female characters, sometimes in the same sentence. “He rapped my elbow with her hand”. Why? How does this get through the editing. It became increasingly annoying as the book went on. I’m pretty sure he mixed up a couple of names as well.

The reader mixed up genders
Geat story, better than the first book in the series. I'm not sure if it's the Author or the person reading but Sergeant Fallon is a woman and is referred to as both he and she throughout the entire book. Apart from that this book is a great second in the series and gets away from the very starship troopers of 1997 vibe like the first. Highly recommended l.

Two down
Reasonable story. Shows some imagination into the future then falls back into out of place ideas and technology. Going for book 3. Good zone out fiction for the car.

Maturing of the Narrative
An enjoyable listen with good pacing and structure. Despite prolific use of military terms it is well explained and understandable. The development of the protagonist is still relatively shallow, however this is understandable with the length of the book. Kloos conveys an atmosphere of impending danger to the entire human race through the narrative and makes some insightful observations about the strengths and weaknesses of our species.
I have and would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys the sci-fi/military genres, and the shorter length format compared to similar works is attractive for those who have limit time.
