That’s the cover for ORDERS OF BATTLE, seventh book in the Frontlines series. As with all Frontlines covers, it features spaceships…but as with all Frontlines covers, the art doesn’t necessarily correspond to any specific event in the book, so don’t try to divinate plot points or anything.
What I can tell you about ORDERS OF BATTLE is that it takes place a few years after the events of the last Frontlines novel, POINTS OF IMPACT, and that it follows Andrew Grayson on the next chapter of his life and career in the war against the Lankies. Without giving away too much, I can say that those of you who want to know just what the hell the Lankies are and where they originated should get your money’s worth out of this book and the ones which are to follow.
(Yes, that means there’s a Frontlines #8 in the works.)
ORDERS OF BATTLE will be released on December 8, 2020. I know the product page doesn’t show an Audible book, but that’s most likely because it’s still in production. (The Audible versions need to be narrated, which means the production calendar has to allow for the schedule of the narrator.) But this will be my ninth published novel with 47North, and all of the previous ones have had Audible versions on release day, so I have no reason to believe this one will be different.
I came across your first book at a used book store right before the pandemic and after reading it I promptly ordered the rest (God bless Amazon). Thank you, because they helped me get through the COVID-19 lockdown. Can’t wait for the next one in December. Mahalo, from a satisfied fan.
I love all of your books, the stories in each book gets better and better. I have recommended this book to multiple friends and each one has said they love your books! I cant wait to read about the lankies origins! I bet they are a type of mindless terraforming species.
I was really hoping this series would end. The durations between books is far to long to enjoy the story properly.
However now that I’m invested in the story I’ve to read until the end.
It better be! He does an an incredible job with them!
Luke Daniels again, I hope?
Kindle pre-order placed. Thank you, sir.
I’ve gotten into the habit of re-reading the preceding two novels in the series before I read a new one. So (unfortunately) I still have plenty of time to accomplish that. 🙂
really love to read your books … this series of books best. Grayson is a great guy to be on point through it all. a good guy who can bring the bad when its needed. i’m glad you have pretty much kept it from seriously damaging him.
Pre-ordered and can’t wait! From your southern neighbor who often visits for the no sales tax.
I just preordered book #7. December seems soooo far away, but great things come to those who are patient.
This will certainly be worth waiting for.
Thank you Marko!
Brittany McDonald on behalf of my father, Alan.
(Note:
I must apologize for not getting to Ballistic yet. It has been difficult getting my father to focus and to gain his interest in much of anything since his latest health difficulties, but we’ll get it read and reviewed as soon as possible)
My preorder is in!
(Cue up the “but I gotta wait seven months” whine.)
Very excited about this. I have read all the books twice at this point, and I’m very much looking forward to a new one. I have to say I think these books are perfect for adaptation to television. Has there been any interest from Netflix, amazon, etc?
When it comes to anything to do with Lankies then be sure and let us know so I can purchase it to read to my father.
Your tales are the absolutely best!
Your fans,
Brittany and Alan McDonald
It’s about time. Glad to see the book is coming out on my birthday. I just wish it had come out on my birthday a couple of years ago.
So do I! But it had to be written first.
