Angles of Attack (Frontlines, #3)

What is it about third books in Space Opera that always brings us back home to Sol for a shootout for the fate of Earth? Just curious. :)
Kloos is piecing together the fractured forces of humanity and is giving us a very, very slight hope against all these overwhelming odds.
Oh, who am I kidding? People are still people and fractured is what we are. Is our distant colony going to starve, can our heroes breath through the blockade around earth to bring resources? Can Grayson ever meet up with his woman and marry her?
This one is still as fun as the previous two novels, but I'll be honest: It's hard to match and maintain the same kind of conflict or sense of conflict as before. I want to say that the stakes are higher because it's the earth under siege, but it didn't quite feel that way to me. Still, the body count is very high and maybe I'm being slightly unfair. The quality is still very high. :)
The ending is quite satisfying, though, so it's not like I'm really complaining. I can't believe that I'm so enthusiastic about Mil-SF. :)

Simple: we started here, it comes full circle and the author doesn't want us to forget what it was all about. We might have colonies, but Earth will always be our beginning. No tree without roots. ;)

But EVERY AUTHOR???? lol it's becoming a trope. :)
It's always been a trope. Hello?! Star Trek?! They always want the codes to EARTH's defenses. They are always attacking stations around our sol system. They are always trying to come HOME.
And me, all I want is to leave this fucking mudball and explore space!

um I'm going to Bucharest in a few months...Brad you should come
A few months?! What are you gonna do there all this time???
Trish wrote: "A few months?! What are you gonna do there all this time???"um...I was going to wander around Bucharest..eat things..drink things....and then take 3 days and go to check out Vald's castle....then head to South Italy and South Greece before coming home...I might go after winter semester is over (there is a break between the college football/NFL games and basketball finals so good time to travel international)
Is Bucharest near Proxima B? I thought it was in the Haedes system. :)

Trish if I went I'd only go for three weeks...I'd have to get back for work :(*** It's been SOOOO long since I've had a vacation

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! That is how it should be! :D
Well, you said 3 MONTHS so I was wondering how much vacation time you're usually getting. Your plans sound nice though - but be careful about the coffin, there are a lot of rip-offs being sold at the moment.
