Javelin Rain - Zeno Agency Ltd.

The wait is over! Myke Cole‘s latest novel in his Shadow Ops series is out now in the UK! JAVELIN RAIN is published by Headline. Here’s the synopsis…

Javelin: the loss of a national security asset with strategic impact

Rain: a crisis of existential proportions

Javelin Rain incidents must be resolved immediately, by any means necessary, no matter the cost…

Being a US Navy SEAL was Jim Schweitzer’s life until the day he was killed.

Now, his escape from the government that brought him back from the dead has been coded ‘Javelin Rain’. Schweitzer and his family are on the run from his unit and, while he may be immortal, his wife and son are not.

It’s up to Jim to keep his family safe and free from the clutches of his former masters, whose plans could spell disaster not only for him, but for the entire nation…

JAVELIN RAIN is the follow-up to GEMINI CELL. Both of these novels are set before the original Shadow Ops series, which was made up of CONTROL POINT, FORTRESS FRONTIER and BREACH ZONE.

Myke’s series has received some great, glowing reviews since they first hit shelves. Here’s just a selection…

‘Myke Cole continues to explore the double-edged nature of magic… easily the darkest novel in the series so far. However, it’s also one of Myke Cole’s best novels so far… captivating… great, vital speculative fiction.’ — Tor.com

‘As always Cole’s writing is taut and the pacing intense. This is Cole’s most deeply emotional work. Having a window seat on Schweitzer’s emotions and thoughts is devastating. Cole has deepened the history of the Gemini Cell program and there is still more to be revealed and more uncovered.’ — Qwillery

‘Cole keeps the pace nice and crisp, and GEMINI CELL is a another page-turner… With GEMINI CELL, Myke Cole proves that the Shadow Ops trilogy was no fluke. It’s everything the first series was and then some! … military fantasy at its best!’ — Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist

‘GEMINI CELL, like its siblings, demonstrates the complexity of the world in which Cole can tell numerous stories, each unique, thought-provoking and entertaining all at once.’ — io9.com

‘CONTROL POINT is Black Hawk Down meets the X-Men. Fast-paced and thrilling from start to finish, CONTROL POINT is military fantasy like you’ve never seen it before. Cole’s wartime experience really shows in the gritty reality of army life, and in the exploration of patriotism as the protagonist wrestles with the line between the law and what he sees as right.’ — Peter V. Brett

‘FORTRESS FRONTIER is even better than CONTROL POINT… If you like superheroes, ancient mythology, military fantasy, comics, epic fantasy, TV shows like Stargate, Heroes, and The 4400, or really if you are geeky in any possible way at all, I cannot recommend Cole’s Shadow Ops series to you highly enough. If you haven’t picked it up yet, go get a copy of CONTROL POINT right now. You’ll love it—I daresay that’s a promise.’ — Ranting Dragon

Myke Cole‘s fifth novel, JAVELIN RAIN, is due out in April 2016. Above you can see the stunning Sullivan cover for the novel. To be published by Headline in the UK, it is the fifth novel set in his Shadow Ops world, and the second in the Operator series. Here’s the synopsis…

Javelin: A code denoting the loss of a national security asset with strategic impact.

Rain: A code indicating a crisis of existential proportions.

Javelin Rain incidents must be resolved immediately, by any and all means necessary, no matter what the cost…

Being a US Navy SEAL was Jim Schweitzer’s life right up until the day he was killed. Now, his escape from the government who raised him from the dead has been coded “Javelin Rain.” Schweitzer and his family are on the run from his former unit, the Gemini Cell, and while he may be immortal, his wife and son are not.

Jim must use all of his strength to keep his family safe, while convincing his wife he’s still the same man she once loved. Only what his former allies have planned to bring him down could mean disaster not only for Jim and his family, but for the entire nation…

Headline also publish Cole’s other novels in the UK: CONTROL POINT, FORTRESS FRONTIER, BREACH ZONE and GEMINI CELL (the first novel in the Operator prequel series). Here are just a few of the great reviews Myke’s novels have received…

‘A debut by a former military officer that will attract readers who like their urban fantasies with more of a military edge.’ — Library Journal on CONTROL POINT

‘Cole’s definitely got a hit on his hands. He’s found that perfect recipe, incorporating magic, military, and mayhem without sacrificing either realism or the sense of wonder. I can’t wait to see what comes next.’ — Tor.com on CONTROL POINT

‘A solid improvement from CONTROL POINT, with a fantastic set of new characters… [FORTRESS FRONTIER is] a superb sequel.’ — SF Signal

‘Cole wraps up the Shadow Ops trilogy with a magical battle royale… This action-filled, adrenalin-powered adventure, which enthusiastically embraces the tropes of tales about meta-powered minorities and the distrusting majorities who oppress them, provides a fitting end for the trilogy.’ — Publishers Weekly on BREACH ZONE

‘Cole has nailed the characters better than ever before, weaving together a heartbreaking story of a Navy SEAL and his wife as they’re separated by death… Cole seems to delight in busting genre conventions… As the latest book in what’s sure to be a longer-running series, Cole has resisted the temptation to spin out sequel after sequel featuring the same characters fighting many of the same battles. GEMINI CELL, like its siblings, demonstrates the complexity of the world in which Cole can tell numerous stories, each unique, thought-provoking and entertaining all at once.’ — io9.com
