Redoubt
Fleet Task Force 13 (TF13) is on approach to the Alsace system, now in alien hands. Karl Zenke wonders if there are any survivors aboard the drifting remains of two shattered task forces sent to defend the system.
To find out, TF13 only has to get past the same Globur battlegroups that savaged a force more than twice the size of TF13. The drifting wrecks of TF6 and TF3 are dotted with alien boarding pods from the titanic clash weeks ago. Now, they may contain only hostile aliens.
Forming spontaneously in the core systems, the “People for Peace” (PFP) move towards the rim, gathering supporters. The PFP believe the Globur are peaceful, the incursion a misunderstanding. Only death awaits them unless they can be turned back, but how?
More warships are being rushed to completion to replace the devastating losses. For now, only TF13 stands as humanity’s shield. They must buy the desperately needed time and delay the seemingly invincible Globur.
Can a new strategy blunt the incursion?

As with Book 3, 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, reading this volume until after reading Book 1. Why, you may ask? The first volume of the series (Fulcrum) occurs ~20 years after what occurs in the following volumes, turning the 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 each book. So, IMHO the order for reading this series would be Books 2 -5, THEN Book 1 (Fulcrum).
