“There is no one who does [military SF] better than Marko Kloos. His Frontlines series is definitely a worthwhile successor to such classics as Starship Troopers, The Forever Battle, and MOST OF US Passed away at Breakaway Train station.” -George R. R. Martin

The year is 2108, and the UNITED STATES Commonwealth is bursting on the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are just two ways from the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You are able to hope to earn the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling about Conditions of Enlistment off-world . or you can join the service.

Using the colony lottery a fantasy, Andrew chooses to enlist in the military for a go at true food, a retirement bonus, and perhaps a ticket off Earth. But as he starts a profession of supposed privilege, he shortly learns that the good food and decent health care arrive at a steep price . . . and that the settled galaxy holds far greater dangers than armed service bureaucrats or the gangs that guideline the slums.

The debut novel from Marko Kloos, Terms of Enlistment is an addition to the great armed service sci-fi tradition of Robert Heinlein, Joe Haldeman, and John Scalzi.
