Description
"A new series that promises to be just as engrossing [as Frontlines]...the action just as exciting, the science just as solid, the tension just as high. I gulped down the first book in a day, and I am already eager for the next one." -George R. R. Martin Across the six-planet expanse of the Gaia system, the Earthlike Gretia struggles to stabilize in the wake of an interplanetary war. Amid an uneasy alliance to maintain economies, resources, and populations, Aden Robertson reemerges. After devoting twelve years of his life to the reviled losing side, with the blood of half a million casualties on his hands, Aden is looking for a way to move on. He's not the only one. A naval officer has borne witness to inconceivable attacks on a salvaged fleet. A sergeant with the occupation forces is treading increasingly hostile ground. And a young woman, thrust into responsibility as vice president of her family's raw materials empire, faces a threat she never anticipated. Now, on the cusp of an explosive and wide-reaching insurrection, Aden plunges once again into the brutal life he longed to forget. He's been on the wrong side of war before. But this time, the new enemy has yet to reveal themselves...or their dangerous endgame.

Reviews
"Aftershocks...looks at the impact of war and how easy it is for conflict to be reignited...[an] exciting new universe." -Kirkus Reviews "Kloos draws on his own experience as a soldier in the West German armed forces to infuse his military science fiction with compelling detail and grounded, believable characters. The result is an addictive, exciting space opera." -Locus Magazine "One of my favorite mil-SF authors...an excellent read." -Amazing Stories "A solid start to what promises to be a fantastic series." -The BiblioSanctum "Aftershocks is a great start to what should be a fun, thought-provoking series. This interrogation of what happens when the fighting is over [is] a refreshing angle on military science fiction and one that rests well in Kloos's hands." -Locus Magazine "Great science fiction, allowing us to reflect on our own faults and challenges in our day. Cool science tech, lots of action and some characters I can certainly root for." -Jordan Rich, WBZ-AM News Radio
