About this listen
Vicious interstellar conflict with an indestructible alien species. Bloody civil war over the last habitable zones of the cosmos. Political unrest, militaristic police forces, dire threats to the solar system....
Humanity is on the ropes, and after years of fighting a two-front war with losing odds, so is Commonwealth 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.
After surviving a disastrous spaceborne assault, Grayson is reassigned to a ship bound for a distant colony - and packed with malcontents and troublemakers. His most dangerous battle has just begun.
In this sequel to the best-selling Terms of Enlistment, a weary soldier must fight to prevent the downfall of his species...or bear witness to humanity’s last fleeting breaths.

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.

When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hit man, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy.

Good start got moral stupid
The first part of the book was great like the first but once the penal group came into the story it got very stupid very fast with such stupid morality that never existed in the first book its taking me a very long time to finish this short book because of it.

Everything was bad
The narrator was very annoying, he acted non-chalant during situations where the character should have been excitable (i.e. when he is about to be killed, or in a dangerous situation). Not Daniels best work.
The story is non-sense for anyone who is actually in the military or has any experience with violence. At one point, a cop saves his life from a criminal gang who is about to kill him and the narrative talks about how the cop was evil for being violent. That's just one example of the continuous logical gymnastics. If you're a veteran or have any experience with violence, you'll find this story very pseudointellectual.

Tropey as heck
It's not bad as such. I just found it predictable and highly conforming to trope. Probably won't continue the series.
