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'
'If you enjoyed The Tattooist of Auschwitz, read The Huntress by
Kate Quinn' The Washington Post 'Fascinating, brilliantly written,
enthralling - just phenomenal' Jill Mansell *From the bestselling
author of The Alice Network* On the icy edge of Soviet Russia, bold
and reckless Nina Markova joins the infamous Night Witches - an
all-female bomber regiment. But when she is downed behind enemy
lines, Nina must use all her wits to survive her encounter with a
lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress. British war
correspondent Ian Graham abandons journalism to become a Nazi
hunter, yet one target eludes him: the Huntress. And Nina Markova
is the only witness to escape her alive. In post-war Boston,
seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride is increasingly disquieted by the
soft-spoken German widow who becomes her new stepmother. Delving
into her past, Jordan slowly realizes that a Nazi killer may be
hiding in plain sight. Shining a light on a shadowy corner of
history, The Huntress is an epic, sweeping Second World War novel
from the New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network.
