I’ve had more than a few people asking where they can read the two stories of mine that were used for the (amazingly done) episodes in Tim Miller and David Fincher’s “Love Death + Robots” on Netflix.
Episode 10 of Love Death + Robots, “Shape-shifters”, is based on my short story “On the Use of Shape-Shifters in Warfare”, which you can find here on Amazon in DRM-free Kindle format.
Episode 13 of Love, Death & Robots, “Lucky 13”, is based on my short story “Lucky Thirteen”, a story in the Frontlines universe. You can find it here on Amazon, in Kindle and Audible formats.
Lucky Thirteen has been out since the early days of Frontlines, and many readers have downloaded and read Halley’s rookie pilot story already.
“On the Use of Shape-Shifters in Warfare” has never been published anywhere before today, but a lot of people have asked for an opportunity to get their hands on it, so I decided to make it available the same way I offered up Lucky Thirteen a few years back, via Kindle Direct. (The Kindle version is DRM-free and has lending enabled.)
I would pay for a full movie or series. Please make one for the Shape shifters.
I love to see when my world’s cross paths – I have read the entire ‘Frontlines’ series and short-stories, and saw this come up on my news feed for my Army life… https://taskandpurpose.com/love-death-robots-review
Hey there Mr. Kloos – I had the pleasure of playing Sgt. Pettibone in “Lucky 13,” and a bunch of the Marines in “Shape-shifters.” I read both stories before we started the performance capture shoots, and I’m now a big fan. Thank you for creating amazing worlds for us to be a part of. Also, someone on Reddit reached out to me claiming to be you, and I wanted to authenticate before I responded. I hope we get to see more of your stories in Season 2 of Love Death and Robots! (I’m keeping my fingers crossed…) Sincerely – Noshir Dalal
Hi Noshir—that was me indeed. Thanks for verifying! And I hope they’ll pick some of my stories for the second season. Thanks for all the great work, and I am glad you enjoyed the stories!
Okay, well now i have watched Lucky 13 and iam hyped again for Frontlines. Soooooo when will Frontlines 7 come out?^^
I just watched “Shape-Shifters” on Netflix, and I really enjoyed the story a lot. I hope to read more of this kind of work and to see more of Decker in a future.
I was happy to see Lucky 13 on Netflix! Keep up the good work!
You wrote two of the very best episodes of an incredibly good series. I was crying my eyes out over the death of Lucky 13. Well done and I hope to see more of your creations brought to life.
I really need to watch “Lucky 13” again, my allergies started acting up bad near the end. Funnily enough, that happened when i was reading the short story as well…
