Javelin Rain is an outstanding fantasy/sci-fi thriller that moves fast and doesn't let you catch your breath. It is book two in the series but you can jump right in, the author catches you up immediately and the race is on. The black op government program by putting jinns inside soldiers so once they are dead, they can come back and fight some more. Now the soldiers will be under the control of the sorceress or wizard, or should be under the control. Jim is the only one that fought off the jinn and is in control of his own dead body. He needs to stop the program because they are after his family now. There are terrifying robotic soldiers, crazed politicians, non-stop action, amazing imaginative ideas, great plot, wonderfully crafted show more characters, and even a romance! I can't tell too much, don't want to spoil it, but this is a book for the library of a fan of fantasy and sci-fi, it has both. The story draws you in, I was hooked. The fight scenes are blow by blow but seem to fly by. The feelings of the characters seem so real. Great story, I have to read book number one now! I received this book for a honest review and it in no way affected my ratings or content of the review. I am very glad I had the chance to read this exciting book. show less
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.
