In Flames of Rebellion, a group of rebels
fighting for independence sows the seeds of revolution
across the galaxy in this blockbuster military sci-fi
adventure from Jay Allan, the author of the Crimson Worlds
and Far Stars series. The planet Haven slides
closer to revolution against its parent nation, Federal
America. Everett Wells, the fair-minded planetary governor,
has tried to create a peaceful resolution, but his failure
has caused the government to send Asha Stanton, a ruthless
federal operative, to quell the insurgency. Wells
quickly realizes that Stanton has the true power . . . and
two battalions of government security troops—specifically
trained to put down unrest—under her control. Unlike Wells,
Stanton is prepared to resort to extreme methods to break
the back of the gathering rebellion, including unleashing
Colonel Robert Semmes, the psychopathic commander of her
soldiers, on the Havenites. But the people of Haven
have their own ideas. They are not the beaten-down masses of
Earth, but men and women with the courage and fortitude to
tame a new world. Damian Ward is such a resident of
Haven, a retired veteran and decorated war hero, who has
watched events on his adopted world with growing
apprehension. He sympathizes with the revolutionaries, his
friends and neighbors, but he is loath to rebel against the
flag he fought to defend. That is, until Stanton’s reign of
terror intrudes into his life—and threatens those he knows
and loves. Then he does what he must, rallying Haven’s other
veterans and leading them to the aid of the
revolutionaries. Yet the battle-scarred warrior knows
that even if Haven’s freedom fighters defeat the
federalists, the rebellion is far from over . . . it’s only
just begun.
