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 troopsspecifically trained to put down unrestunder 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 Stantons reign of terror intrudes into his lifeand threatens those he knows and loves. Then he does what he must, rallying Havens other veterans and leading them to the aid of the revolutionaries.
Yet the battle-scarred warrior knows that even if Havens freedom fighters defeat the federalists, the rebellion is far from over . . . its only just begun.
Flames of Rebellion is a superb and fast-paced read...In fact, the plot is so fast-paced and engaging that there is never a dull moment. -- Seattle Book Review
