Angles of Attack (Frontlines, #3)

by Marko Kloos

But we are humans. We are obstinate, stubborn, belligerent, unreasonable. And we are doing what most sentient creatures do when you corner them and leave them no avenue of escape: We bare our claws and our teeth, and we go on the attack.

“Anyone who isn’t scared at the thought of going into battle is either a moron or a sociopath.”

“Mr. Grayson, have you ever considered the fact that you seem to be right at the bleeding edge of the shitstorm way too often, considering your pay grade?”

This is what this ship was built to do. This is what this crew was trained to do. I will not wish us luck. We won’t need luck, because we have skill.

“Your assault carrier actually has a distillery.” “Is Russian ship. You will not find Russian ship anywhere in SRA fleet without engineer who knows how to make proper drink in secret.”

Looks like you came straight to the bar from the landing pad. I can appreciate a soldier who has his priorities so clearly in order.”
