Assault: The Globur Incursion Book 6

by D. Rebbitt

The Fleet has delayed the Globur incursion at great cost. The time bought with their comrades’ lives has allowed the Fleet to build new task forces and new weapons. It is time to expand their system defense strategy.

Unfortunately, the Senate has other ideas – take all the available ships and throw them into a massive gamble. The latest system loss is too much. The Fleet must liberate a system – no matter the cost.

For Rear Admiral Brown, it is a chance to step out from under a cloud of doubt created by the People For Peace, who labeled him the “Butcher of Castellan” and lead the operation. Everyone hopes the new ships and promised weapons will shift the odds in their favor.

Sergeant Major Sanderson does not like it one bit - and he is not alone. Marines follow orders, and the new assignment is why his new unit was created. The first marine planetary assault division will get a baptism of fire.

Everything the Fleet has will be thrown into the operation. Every available Fleet task force, and the marines of the first planetary assault division, heed the call for the Assault.

Reviews

[Mike Smoller · Rating 5 out of 5]

As with Books 2 - 5, 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 (6) until after reading Book 1. Why, you may ask? The first volume of the series (Fulcrum) occurs approximately 20 years after what occurs in the following volumes (2 - 5), turning them 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 reading 2 - 5.

Even better than the last one.

I have read all the books by this author and each one gets better than the last. I’ll be eagerly waiting for the next one when it is released.
Keep up the good work.

Good story, too many errors.

The story and voice are very good. However, way too many errors that disrupt the flow. Please proofread the text.
