Coincidence

In this third installment of the Nick Spalding story, Nick and Marie are facing a challenge of immense proportions. The Side has found the enemy has a secret: a vast underground munitions bunker.

If that weren't enough, the Others have also brought in a massive weapon that will enable them to win the war and force capitulation of the country in a matter of hours.

The only way into the compound is on foot, in secret, and only one man—and woman—is right for the job.

Nick Spalding has been a warrior, both military and civilian, most of his life. He's seen the good and bad in life, and he always knows which side to come down on.

He also knows he's probably destined to come down alone. With few exceptions for brief periods of time, his has been a solitary life.

But there's something very different about Marie Delacroix, who made her debut in Book 2.

For some reason, Nick is torn between wanting to keep her safe and wanting to teach her what she wants to learn: everything he knows about waging war.

She wants to be his partner. A real partner in every aspect of his life. And she truly is unlike anyone he's ever known.

Life truly is a series of transitions. And many of them are wrapped up in coincidence.
