Shadow Ops Breach Zone Shadow Ops series Book 3 eBook Myke Cole

(x-posted from Goodreads)
This book is not released at the time of this review, I read an ARC that I got from the Worldbuilder's charity auction.

Breach Zone is the third book in Myke Cole's Shadow Ops trilogy, and the author's development in his craft is highly evident. In each book, the author shows a willingness to try new things in service to the narration, expanding the number of POV characters, widening the scope of the narrative, and now changing the narrative structure to include two separate interweaving stories. The prose is crisp, and moves the story along. Chapter endings are varied with a mix of natural story breaks and "cliff hangers" and worked well to keep my attention glued to the story, and getting me to turn the page. Characterization is well done, with motivations for main characters explored, but there are no massive info dumps or anything to get in the way of the story.

In Fortress Frontier, the previous book in the series, Myke Cole explored his universe's version of the Epic Journey. This book is about The Siege in the tradition of Thermopylae or the Alamo. And that thematic choice is used well to underscore themes that have been running throughout the series. This entire series deeply explores the dichotomy of "Right" vs. "the Law". In the previous book, Harlequin, the main POV character in this one, had to make a choice between the lives of 8 US Marines and an entire division of people. The ramifications of that decision are shown here in Breach Zone.

It is obvious that the author has served in the military, and that his experiences there have formed a large part of the philosophies espoused in this book. It is the rare service member that hasn't wrestled between following orders and doing what they perceive as right, though the stakes are generally not as high here. I believe that anyone can pick up this story and enjoy the action, adventure, and narrative, but those who have served will notice plenty of little easter eggs.

Breach Zone is a worthy successor to the first two novels, and provides a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys epic fantasy or comic books, and would also recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the military. Heck, I'd recommend it to just about anyone, and have gifted copies of the first book to friends, family members, and libraries.

Shadow Ops Breach Zone Shadow Ops series Book 3 eBook Myke Cole Reviews

The first two books were very good, but as the other reviewers have said, Myke Cole has definitely grown as a writer. He knows his military, even down to the little details (like how the USMC doesn't play with SOC/SOCOM). Besides that, it is a great story. Black Hawk Down meets X-Men is a good comparison, although the super/magic part is much, much grittier/uglier than X-Men could ever hope to be. A better comparison might be the early-mid 90's Wild Card series/anthologies.

Character development is pretty damn good as well, especially with regards to Scylla. There are no black/white disticntions here, everything is a shade of grey, even Scylla. Much like the real world.

Hope Mr Cole continues on with this world, would love to see more of it.
I started reading this series after it was recommended on io9, and it immediately grabbed my attention. As much as I hate to see the series end, (rumors of more to come) Breach Zone is a terrific send off. From the very beginning we get thrown into a situation already in motion and spiraling out of control fast. It maintains a break neck pace without washing out the small stuff, and I couldn't put it down during the last half of the book. There are some great payoffs from the two previous books, and almost everything gets wrapped up by the end. There are a couple characters that really get some much needed time in the sun, and their growth is why I loved this series. I really think this is the best book of the three, but its also the culmination of the two other stories coming together, so its easy to love. If you are into Sci-Fi, fantasy, or military fiction I highly recommend this and the other two books. (Control Point and Fortress Frontier) Now I just hope for more from Myke Cole.
It’s no real spoiler that this is a siege story, which can make for a very exhausting read. I was equally appeased and annoyed by the flashbacks, and slightly frustrated when a few logical conclusions / conversations were not directly stated, because it then made for a few leaps and cast a harsher light on some characters. It was interesting to see Harlequin’s character arc, but also frustrating that so many threads were left fluttering in the wind. I wanted so much more from this book.
I don't think I can rave enough about this book and how perfectly it closes out the Shadow Ops trilogy. Cole set a high bar with Control Point, exceeded it with Fortress Frontier, and blows it out of the water (literally, at one point) with Breach Zone. His characterization is frighteningly true to life, the plots are solid, the events all moving toward the same end. He reads easily, showing a great balance between every element from dialogue to pacing, setting, characterization, everything. He doesn't give too much information, nothing that's unneeded, and he doesn't hold anything or anyone back. Moments will make you cheer or weep. I did both at one point or another.

In reference to the trilogy as a whole, I absolutely love and admire how Cole has placed different characters at the forefront of each of the three novels. Oscar Britton is clearly the center of Control Point, Alan Bookbinder of Fortress Frontier, and Harlequin of Breach Zone. The others are not off the map once "their story" is finished. I was greatly attached to Britton in reading Control Point, and at first I was wondering why I wasn't getting enough of him in Fortress Frontier. But then I realized it wasn't "his story" anymore, but that didn't mean he no longer existed. The passing of the protagonistic torch to Bookbinder was a brilliant move on Cole's part, and when I came to this conclusion of the trilogy, I was ready to address my relationship with Harlequin and bring the story to a close. Myke Cole can write, and he does it amazingly well.
