About the Author
Myke Cole is the author of the Shadow Ops series, including Breach Zone, Fortress Frontier, and Control Point. As a security contractor, government civilian, and military officer, Coles career has run the gamut from counterterrorism to cyber warfare to federal law enforcement. Hes done three tours in Iraq and was recalled to serve during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. All that conflict can wear a guy out. Thank goodness for fantasy novels, comic books, late-night games of Dungeons and Dragons, and lots of angst-fueled writing.
