He ends up joining the army with the hope of getting food, but he realises his enlistment is much more than he had bargained. In the first book Grayson is presented as a young boy with next to nothing going for him and he is desperate to just be able to get a good meal and maybe a ticket off the earth.

Most of the story in this book revolves around Grayson and the reader will follow the plot mostly through the eyes of Grayson who in this series is a bit older and more mature than the young soldier he used to be in the first series of Frontlines. Earth meanwhile is also facing its own struggles as it has turned into a hopeless existence that threatens to cause its own self-destructionĪmidst all the hopelessness and degeneration of earth, steps out the Hero Andrew Grayson who must contend with lots of adversity and the harsh reality of war to save the day. Like many science fiction stories, it is a story of a battle to overcome an enemy who poses a threat to the existence of humanity and the humans must unite to overcome the adversaries who have more superior weaponry. The plot revolves around aliens known as lankies who are tall and lanky, hence the name, who have an affinity for the extermination of anything that is not their species. One of Marko Kloos famous books is Lines of Departure which is the second of the Series Frontlines a series of military science fiction books.

Like many writers he is witty and a bit critical of society. Despite his stand on gun ownership, he says he likes kind people and likes to drink scotch and take long walks on the beach with scotch. He is also known to be a pro guns supporter who believes citizens should be able to protect themselves with private ammunition. His career in the army seems to have an impact on his writing as many of them will involve war. His genre is mainly fiction books especially science fiction. The only other job that he enjoyed other than writing was as one autobiographer put it, “working as an unpaid slave for 2 toddlers” or rather a stay home dad. Before becoming a writer he served in the army, he worked as an IT administrator, sold books, worked at the docks and none of those jobs seemed to cut it for him.
