Marko Kloos: Angles of Attack (Paperback, 2015, 47North)

Wow, what a ride this book was!

This book went places I never expected and kept me thoroughly hypnotized all the way through. The characters have evolved, the story become more dangerous, and the twists are not what I expected. These points made the book fantastic and my favorite of the series so far. Can't wait for the next one!

Wow, incredible story!

I loved this book and the story as it was presented. As part two of the story, it skips a little bit forward in time and presents a bit more backstory on our characters... and then throws them into impossible situations. And just when you think all hope is lost, the action increases and the book becomes a page-turner that I cannot put down. The last parts of this book climax in a way that sets up the next book to be even bigger. This has been one of the best military-style sci-fi books I've read and would be on par with TV shows like Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse if it was put into film. Worth the time to read!

Wow, intense!

This book progressed a little slow in the beginning as the author describes life in the military from basic training. It picked up intensity as our main character finds his first combat and possibly some life and death events... but then we see the perspective of life in the interstellar navy which end up being an insane battle! This is a purely military-space drama and action-filled adventure and I can't wait to read the next book!
