Battle Lines by Wolcott, Jacob I. N.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781733753500.

Mercury just might be able to save the human race. That is what Sol tells the boy anyway. A war is coming. According to the aging general’s AI, this one will send humanity back to the Stone Age. The entire Hel System will descend into blood-soaked anarchy and revolution. To stop this, Sol gathered Mercury and five other young people to quell the rebellion. Saved from poverty and desperation, these scrappy kids will be forged into weapons of war unlike any humanity has ever seen. Together, they form the Angels (Air Navy and Ground Elite.) But as battle lines are drawn, Mercury and his new family will be put to the ultimate test. When the line between friend and foe grows hazy, Mercury must make a choice. Will his choice doom humanity? More importantly, will his choice doom his family? An adventure science fiction novel that poses deep ethical questions, Battle Lines is full of action and heart.
