Marko Kloos#Bibliography

Kloos is best known for his Frontlines series of military science fiction novels. Featuring the protagonist Andrew Grayson, they are set in a future in which a Western and an Eastern power bloc are at war with each other and with an alien threat.

Reviewing the first novel, Terms of Enlistment, io9 described it as sticking close to the conventions of the genre, focusing on "guns, acronyms, hard-ass drill sergeants, explosions and battles on alien worlds". The reviewer considered the second novel, Lines of Departure, to be an improvement in that it reflected a critical outlook towards powerful, centralized government that was often absent in leading works of the genre such as Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers.{{cite news|last1=Liptak|first1=Andrew|title=Craving a new military science fiction thrillride?

Lines of Departure was nominated for the 2015 Hugo Award for Best Novel on a slate organized by the "Sad Puppies", a group of "right-leaning science fiction writers."{{cite news|last1=Flood|first1=Alison|title=Hugo award nominees withdraw amid 'Puppygate' storm|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/apr/17/hugo-award-nominees-withdraw-amid-puppygate-storm|accessdate=29 April 2015|work=The Guardian|date=17 April 2015}} In reaction to this, Kloos withdrew the novel from consideration for the award. He was subsequently honored by George R. R. Martin for this decision.[https://www.wired.com/2015/08/won-science-fictions-hugo-awards-matters/ Who Won Science Fiction’s Hugo Awards, and Why It Matters], by Amy Wallace, in Wired; published August 23, 2015; retrieved August 23, 2015
