Campaign: The Globur Incursion Book 8
After the debacle in the Chaco system, things changed. An alien attack deep in human space can never be allowed to happen again.
The Fleet is finally granted all the resources they need. Much has been sacrificed to slow the enemy and take back the Mongolia system. Things have been quiet, and the Fleet has expanded. Jones has a full task force with new shields that are supposed to be much better. Zenke has a new ship (again). Sanderson trains marines on Khan for the coming conflict.
People from the rim worlds flock to the Fleet and marine recruiting centers. It is time to take back what was lost. The campaign ahead will demand more than ever before.
The calculus of combat is cold and the Globur are waiting...

As with Books 2 - 7, this volume directly continues the events of the previous volume as if it is just another chapter in the same book. While it IS possible to start reading this series with this volume, it would be much better that you begin this series with Book 2 and read them in this order: 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 6 and 7. Why, you may ask? That is because first volume of the series (Fulcrum) occurs approximately 20 years AFTER what occurs in volumes 2 - 5, turning those following volumes into a prolonged prequel and IMHO gives way too many plot spoilers too early in the series lessening some of the suspense that would otherwise go with the volumes following.
SPOILER ALERT: Near the end of the volume 7 (Salvation), a sub-plot was partially resolved, but oddly some of that sub-plot was not addressed at all. I am referring to the exposure of PFP infiltration of Senator Alexander's "fact finding" mission to the Gateway facility. Specifically, it was revealed that after two members of that party failed in their attempted to assassinate the base commander and were transferred from military captivity to Senate Security they mysteriously disappeared, despite the military having clear records of handing them over to Senate Security. This raised the obvious question of: to what extent Senate Security was compromised by the PFP. That sub-issue is never addressed at all, despite the military having all the remaining members of the Senate investigatory party in custody at the end of the book, clearly stating that they were all to be turned over to that SAME (suspect) Senate Security. If the previous assassins disappeared from their custody, then WHY would the military just hand over the rest of the party to Senate Security? This issue has been inexplicably left hanging without being further addressed by the author.

Well worth your time
I binged read the series, staying up late
The twist on the first books ending hooked me.

Love the consistency
I’ve been following this author for some time and I really love the authenticity of the story. I’m looking forward to the continuation and the revealing of what Lilly has discovered and what that will result in for the future and any interaction between the races.
Thanks for keeping us immersed!
