Humanity is on the ropes, and after years of fighting a two-front war with losing odds, so is North American 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.

Great book, but getting a bit heavy

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and this one is also really well written, and mostly quite fun, with the only problem that it's starting to get a bit heavy for me, I'm wondering if the really "No chance" thing is going to be a big thing forward, while I really enjoy the a bit more lighter part of the stories, this is starting to feel a bit too heavy for my liking, maybe I need to let it wait for a bit before I go on with the next one, and read some a bit more positive books inbetween.

Review of 'Lines of Departure' on 'Goodreads'

Kloos paints a pretty grim picture of the future. Humans fighting other humans despite There being a whole other species of invaders to fight against. This is a fast paced book, and the writing is fun and exciting. There's a lot of military lingo I don't quite get, but it didn't distract to much.
The cliffhanger at the end is totally, completely and utterly evil! Please hurry up and finish the next book in this series! :)
