Fates of Rebels and Men by Caleb J Stair

On the moon of Delight, Ammon Karajan stumbles upon a fire burning in a field from a crashed starship. A machine alien delivers an unknown message, leaving Ammon reeling with questions about his future. Lieutenant Samuel H.C. Packett is assigned by the Commonwealth Intelligence Core on Augustein to prepare for something profound for all mankind: a deep secret of great importance, known only to Packett in small details. There’s a problem, however–Ammon found something he wasn’t supposed to, and it is now Packett’s duty to bring Ammon to Augustein. Rebellion runs amiss beneath the city of Opalin on Delight. Destinies are altered. Conspiracy is uncovered. As the Galactic Commonwealth of Earth prepares for total war from a sudden attack, the future of Delight and its residents are thrown into question. Things are not as they initially seemed. Both men race against the clock–one to survive with a rebel commander named Joanna, the other to find his target and make it back home alive. Amidst the war and chaos, destiny is found through those who give them the will to continue. The future of humanity may lie with the woman Ammon begins to fall for, and the fates of rebels and men may depend on their survival.
