Sixteenth Watch

“It’s incredibly refreshing to find a sci-fl novel with a female protagonist who’s a confident woman in her fifties… The author’s experience in the Coast Guard lends a strong sense of verisimilitude to his portrayal of military operations, and his action scenes sizzle with the rush of adrenaline… Briskly paced, the book strikes a fine balance between military minutiae and imagination.”
– SFX Magazine

“Cole leverages his real-life military background to create a believable depiction of conflict in space with an emphasis on authentic characters.”
– Kirkus

“Cole weaves a fantasy world that feels comfortably familiar, then goes to places you’d never expect.”
– Peter V. Brett, author of The Demon Cycle series

“Myke Cole’s novels are like crack: they’re highly addictive.”

– Starburst Magazine
