Publisher Description
In Myke Cole’s latest high-octane, action-packed military fantasy, the fate of undead Navy SEAL James Schweitzer will be decided—one way or another...
The Gemini Cell took everything from Jim Schweitzer: his family, his career as a Navy SEAL, even his life. Hounded across the country, Schweitzer knows the only way he can ever stop running, the only way his son can ever be safe, is to take the fight to the enemy and annihilate the Cell once and for all.
But the Cell won’t be easily destroyed. Out of control and fighting a secret war with the government it once served, it has dispatched its shadowy Director to the far reaches of the subarctic in search of a secret magic that could tip the balance of power in its favor. Schweitzer must join with the elite warriors of both America and Canada in a desperate bid to get there first—and avert a disaster that could put the Cell in control.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cole (the Shadow Ops series) mixes contemporary action thriller and urban fantasy in this exciting novel about an out-of-control government program that uses magic to reanimate dead soldiers. Deceased former SEAL Jim Schweitzer escapes from the program, planning to save his son and to shut down the program for good. Their battle takes them through gruesome deaths and to a remote Canadian village, battling soldiers and zombielike creatures all the way. The pace never lets up as the characters face battle after battle, and, though the ending is a bit predictable, the excitement of the ride is still worth the reader's time. Zombie-haters might find this particular type created one by one rather than infectious more palatable, and the magic element should be limited enough for thriller fans to overlook; it's guns and guts that will save the day.
