Marko Kloos is the author of the Frontlines series of military science fiction and is a member of George R. R. Martin’s Wild Cards consortium. Born in Germany and raised in and around the city of Münster, Marko was previously a soldier, bookseller, freight dockworker, and corporate IT administrator before deciding that he wasn’t cut out for anything except making stuff up for fun and profit. Marko writes primarily science fiction and fantasy—his first genre love ever since his youth, when he spent his allowance mostly on German SF pulp serials. He likes bookstores, kind people, October in New England, fountain pens, and wristwatches. Marko resides at “Castle Frostbite” in New Hampshire with his wife, two children, and roving pack of voracious dachshunds. For more information, visit www.markokloos.com.

“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
