He’s the author of the bestselling Frontlines series of military science fiction and is a member of George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards consortium.Marko resides at Castle Frostbite in New Hampshire with his wife, two children, and a roving pack of vicious dachshunds. His official website is www.markokloos.com.
