À propos de cet audio
“There is nobody who does [military SF] better than Marko Kloos. His Frontlines series is a worthy successor to such classics as Starship Troopers, The Forever War, and We All Died at Breakaway Station.” - George R. R. Martin
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service.
With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth. But as he starts a career of supposed privilege, he soon learns that the good food and decent health care come at a steep price...and that the settled galaxy holds far greater dangers than military bureaucrats or the gangs that rule the slums.
The debut novel from Marko Kloos, Terms of Enlistment is an addition to the great military sci-fi tradition of Robert Heinlein, Joe Haldeman, and John Scalzi.
Revised edition: This edition of Terms of Enlistment includes editorial revisions.

Strarship Troopers The Movie in Book form
I enjoyed the Starship troopers movie. I have never read the book but understand they are much different from each other. I make this distinction because this book reminds me of the movie in all the good ways. It has the space action with the underlying tensions of a political and military society at it's core. I won't say much about the books content as i don't want to give anything away. But if you liked the Starship troopers movie, you will like this series.

Excellent series, rings true to military life
Huge fan of this entire series, I was in the military for 8 years and it reminds me a lot of certain aspects of my service. It's pretty good science fiction, set in the near future (well nearish) in a world that looks similar to our own... but has greater extremes of wealth disparity. The main character is relatable and has good character development. There's solid action scenes in this book too and the enemies they face are very unique (no spoilers!). I would highly recommend listening to this book!

Private blank slate
One of the many criticisms of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers was the fact Juan Rico never really had an opinion of his own. Our protagonist here seems to have a leg up on that front, but not by much.
You'll spend a long time wanting to know just how bad the 'Commonwealth' is and the bad faith it must generate with it's citizens. Its welfare mega cities filled with people that are more or less abandoned than nurtured, still persecuting a war on drugs and violation of the rights of those born outside of generational wealth and opportunity. And when things get heated and the 'Public Residence Clusters' break out into civil disobedience, they send in the Territorial Army like it's Blackhawk down and seem shocked it ends with anything less than thousands dead and a surprising 'clean' cover up that seems impossible in our age of everyone having a camera in their pocket, let alone the future.
But you know who isn't interested in those details and can gleefully keep reminding us he's better in the military than at home? Our protagonist. But that's alright, the book provides an 'other' for us to distract ourselves from the horrific realities of humanity's treatment of itself.
Voice actor does a good job, but even they can't make this sound less questionable.

illogical
If you are in the military or have any experience with violence, you'll find this book very pseudo-intellectual. The main character gets in trouble for using an anti-armor weapon against a bunkered machine gun. The author didn't know that weapons like that are literally made for those situations.
