Book Review: "Javelin Rain" by Myke Cole


The fast-paced, adrenaline-filled sequel to Gemini Cell, set in the same magical and militaristic world of the acclaimed Shadow Ops series.
 
Javelin: A code denoting the loss of a national security asset with strategic impact.
 
Rain: A code indicating a crisis of existential proportions.
 
Javelin Rain incidents must be resolved immediately, by any and all means necessary, no matter what the cost...

Being a US Navy SEAL was Jim Schweitzer’s life right up until the day he was killed. Now, his escape from the government who raised him from the dead has been coded "Javelin Rain." Schweitzer and his family are on the run from his former unit, the Gemini Cell, and while he may be immortal, his wife and son are not.

Jim must use all of his strength to keep his family safe, while convincing his wife he’s still the same man she once loved. Only what his former allies have planned to bring him down could mean disaster not only for Jim and his family, but for the entire nation...

I received an ARC through NetGalley.com, from the publisher, Berkely Publishing Group - ACE, in exchange for a review.

It is good to once again immerse myself in this magical world that Cole has created with this series, and the Shadow Ops series! Here we continue from book one with Jim finding his wife and son, and beginning to run from those that want to control him. I don't want to throw out any spoilers, but there are some climatic shifts, and help from the unlikeliest people. Cole seems to pack more action in each newer part of the tale, and I enjoyed reading it.
