February 1944. Six months since Nazi forces occupied Rome.
Inside the beleaguered city, the Contessa Giovanna Landini is a member of the band of Escape Line activists known as ‘The Choir’. Their mission is to smuggle refugees to safety and help Allied soldiers, all under the nose of Gestapo boss Paul Hauptmann.
During a ferocious morning air raid a mysterious parachutist lands in Rome and disappears into the backstreets. Is he an ally or an imposter? His fate will come to put the whole Escape Line at risk.
Meanwhile, Hauptmann’s attention has landed on the Contessa. As his fascination grows, she is pulled into a dangerous game with him – one where the consequences could be lethal.
Our gifts, for our nation... The fate of humankind will be decided
in an epic battle on the streets of New York in Breach Zone, the
third explosive fantasy from Myke Cole's Shadow Ops trilogy. The
perfect read for fans of Nicholas Eames and Peter V. Brett. 'A
mile-a-minute story of someone trying to find purpose in a war he
never asked for' - Jack Campbell, author of The Lost Fleet series
The Great Reawakening has left Latent people with a stark choice:
either use their newfound magical powers in the service of the
government, or choose the path of the Selfer, and be hunted down
and killed by the Supernatural Operations Corps. For Lieutenant
Colonel Jan Thorsson - call sign Harlequin - the SOC is the closest
thing to family he's ever known. But when his efforts to save
thousands of soldiers leads to the impeachment of the President,
he's suddenly cut off from the military and in the same position as
his rival Oscar Britton, an outcast criminal who is leading the
fight for Latent equality. This latest schism is perfect for the
walking weapon known as Scylla, who is slowly but surely building a
vast and terrible army. The Selfers and the SOC will have to learn
to work together if they are to have any chance of preventing a
massacre. Because this time they won't be facing her on a dusty
battlefield far from home. This time, Scylla is bringing the fight
to the streets of New York. What readers are saying about Breach
Zone: 'Masterfully crafted and written with such imaginative vision
and intensity, this book keeps you turning the pages and wanting to
read on' 'The writing is so compelling and so clever that I was
instantly drawn back into this remarkable world with the dramatic,
climactic ending as a perfect conclusion to a spectacular story'
'Brilliant finale. A very satisfying conclusion with plenty of the
military and magical terms that are a part of its universe'
