Myke Cole returns once more with another incredible work of fantasy fiction, Shadow Ops: Breach Zone. We dig into the complicated relationship between the military and the general public, the development of the novels in Shadow Ops series, and so much more. Spoiler warning: if you have not read the previous two books in the series, Control Point and Fortress Frontier, we recommend doing so before listening to this episode. While we don’t ruin those books, we obviously discuss some of the details in their connection to Breach Zone. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Last week, Paul Weimer reviewed A Darkling Sea by James Cambias. It turns out the good folks at Tor have more to offer than just the book: We at Tor have done something a little extra for A Darkling Sea and created tie-in websites for readers to engage with. IlmatarMission.com is a prop website for the “United Nations Interstellar Cooperation Agency” which features in Cambias’s novel. The website includes information on the space mission, aliens, and characters of A Darkling Sea as well as a link to the personal blog of one of the characters. We believe this will be an exciting opportunity for fans to learn more about the universe Cambias created. Starting on January 28th we will begin posting a series of “log entries” from both the station and one of the characters. January 28th? That’s today! Click on the link above or the banner below to go check out the Ilmatar Mission website!
