Loved it, Marko is my favorite SF writer right now. I can't wait for Orders of Battle and I have Ballistic shipped!

I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings with Orders of Battle. I'm intrigued by the time jump.

Andrew,

This was a fantastic interview, thank you so much for posting it. I'm a die-hard fan of this series and am active duty US Army, and like you said Marko's experience really shines through.

The time jump is intriguing, but what really got me was this part of your interview:

"Let’s just say that even though Andrew has been around them for many years in battle, he’s about to discover that the galaxy is a really scary place, and that there’s stuff out there that frightens even Lankies."

I got shivers! Can't wait. Keep up the good interviews here and on The Verge!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I don't actually work for The Verge anymore: this is where you'll get these types of interviews and commentary. :)

Happy to hear you're not in a rush to head towards that 'end game'. You see that a lot in serialized television. A problem comes up, and it's solved within an episode or two. Unfortunately, real life isn't like that and that's what I like about Frontlines. Sometimes a 'problem' occurs over the span of one's life, or can perhaps become multi-generational. Keep keeping it real Marko.
