Salvation
The Fleet finally controls local space in the Mongolia system. On the sole inhabited planet of Khan, that is far from true. Homer Sanderson has seen the first marine planetary assault division blooded, but the real battle is just about to begin.
No one knows what happens to the people when the aliens take over a planet, there is never any word. The marines look to answer that question, none will like what they find.
Gateway base is the linchpin of the Fleet's efforts to stem the Globur incursion. They rush to bring new shipyards online and repair battle damaged ships. Now, the base has another headache to deal with - a senate delegation. The observations become inspections and then a witch hunt. A dangerous game plays out as loyalties are questioned.
The Globur have been absent, learning and adapting their strategy. A surprising threat emerges that could change everything. Rear Admiral Jones is the only hope. He knows his people will give their all, and fears that will not be enough. Across the rim, humanity strives for Salvation.

Wonderful
What a GREAT series. I read all 10 front to back. MAGNIFICANT is not a word I throw around book reviews, but it certainly counts here.

Good story but too many errors.
The story is good and fun to follow. however, there are way too many editing errors. The errors detract from the story by interrupting the pace.

With ‘Salvation: The Globular Incursion Book 7’, D. Rebbitt offers readers a classic military space opera saga. Book 7 offers engaging action sequences and political intrigue that reveals an Empire torn with internal plots and counterplots, an undermanned and underequipped Fleet tasked with protecting the Empire while elements within the Senate seek to enhance their own personal power that threatens survival of every system in the face of a Globur invasion. Political tension slowly builds as the Senate tries to subjugate the Fleet to its will, and these elements come to dominate this novel. ‘Salvation: The Globular Incursion Book 7’ is easy to read, and D. Rebbitt does not burden readers with intricate plotting, characterization, or emotional drama, allowing action to carry most of the story. An entertaining novel, if somewhat superficial.

Very Worthy Reading
I got to admit it took me a second to get into this series, but I am glad I stuck with it. The series is unlike others in that Humans are definitely not invulnerable! There are so many battles and deaths that it can be daunting. Thankfully there are a few heros that you can root for! I am looking forward to seeing how John Forrest develops... not to spoiler anything but I hope he does regain his memory (this time around) because if you understand it all he is on a revolving timeline.

Another amazing read
I’ve been waiting for this book! I’ve absolutely loved this series since being introduced to it by the authors brother.
Once I start I am unable to put it down. I am eagerly awaiting more from this author.

As with Books 2 - 6, 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. Why, you may ask? This first volume of the series 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 the volumes following Book 1 (Fulcrum).
And this may a bit petty, but there are NO "shock waves" from nuclear detonations in space. There is still heat and radiation, but there is no medium in a vacuum to propagate shock waves. I am somewhat surprised that the author did not or does not know this, or even knowing included it as a way to damage a ship in space.
SPOILER ALERT: Near the end of this volume, 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 attempt to assassinate the base commander, they were transferred from military captivity to Senate Security and 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 by the author in this volume, 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. I hope this oversight is resolved in the next volume.
