A.M.C takes on some typical conflicts within the pages. Man against himself - very well done as men struggle to overcome their own fears, anger and personal agendas for a greater good. Man against man - Men are placed in the same confines on a single mission that in a normal day's work would never co-exist. The typical conflicts of such a tight and sudden enmeshment were well written. Man against nature - Boy nature packed quite the punch. And of course, man against extra-terrestrial. I loved watching these interweave as the story played out.
The only thing I found disturbing or distracting about this novel is that all the conversations were in italics. I could only read for short periods of time due to the cognitive dissonance this created though it got better as I made my way through the novel.
I also found it interesting that there were few women. Man is in trouble if there aren't a few more women left on Earth. Where were the women marines?
The book is also badly written from a reader's perspective. It's too long. The narrative voice is clunky and stilted. The author takes way too many words to describe things. He repeats himself. He uses obvious British idioms that don't fit on American and alien characters. There are plot holes.
However, the story is epic and sprawling. In the first couple of chapters Earth is overrun by aliens and the guy who you thought was going to be the main character dies. The author knows how to hit the ground running. The fight scenes are fun. The ending is predictable but leaves you hanging on a cliff.
The violence in this book is the most graphic I've read, and the language is profane. But the sexual content barely registers.

Salvation by AMC a Sci-fi action adventure- with alien invasion, violence, intergalactic travel, prophecy, destiny, resistance fighters, hidden agendas, combat, suspense, multiple worlds, different races& beings, struggle, sacrifice- with the fate of the world and universe at stake.
AMC is a new-to-me author, so I was intrigued to dive into the book and find out what he could do. I am happy I decided to grab a copy, because it was quite the adventure!
This story was really detailed and descriptive- it definitely painted vivid images for us, the reader- leaving little to the imagination. It has an original spin on the theme- but it did get a little wordy at times. The attention to detail is commendable, but sometimes it got so ‘bogged down’ in the descriptions that the flow of the story is disrupted. But not enough that I couldn’t enjoy the story, because I did- I just felt that with a little tweaking this story would be truly EPIC!
I look forward to exploring more of AMC’s work in the future.
Thank you AMC!

Anyone looking for an adventure should pick up this book.
I have to thanks AMC for the time it took to put this adventure together.
Excitement, violence, gore are all in abundance, but liberally sprinkled with an exploration of human nature - the good and the bad.
A.M.C. has written a book with all the qualities needed for it to become a classic of our time.
Due to the language and violence, I wouldn't recommend this book for younger readers, or for those who are squeamish! For anyone else, this should go on your "MUST READ" list right now!!
The action scenes are immense, and will have you feeling like you are there in the fight every step of the way. The characters are well written, and it's not long until they feel like lifelong friends that are dragging you with them on their harrowing voyage across the stars to save the human race, or perish in the attempt!
The flow of the story is great, and led to many late nights due to "just one more page" never being enough.
Easily the best book I have written for a long time, and the only disappointment is waiting and hoping to see a followup for this fantastic world.
GET IT NOW!
I was informed by a fellow book lover that I must read it this book, that it was the best book that they had read in ages. So I went in with high expectations.
We get plenty of action, multiple worlds and races teaming up and fighting a common foe. There is big plot twist early on that I for one did not see coming, but then again maybe if I had read the synopsis first, things might have been different.
You get drawn into the character of Alex and his fight to save not only the world but the entire universe. Go Humans!!!! It is a very long story so be prepared for sleepless nights until you’ve finished – well it is an epic sci fi fantasy so you’d expect nothing less.
I can’t fault it, the story had me NEEDING to know how it ended. I’m giving it four out of five stars. It’s only losing the one star from a perfect score because of a personal preference. There was no romance in this intergalactic thriller and I like there to be a little bit in everything I read, but never the less I was still impressed. I got excited when we met the beautiful sensual killing machine Symlia. I rejoiced as I thought Alex was getting a queen, but alas it wasn't meant to be.
Now I will say no more as I do not want to give too much away – GO and read it yourself :-) >>>
