Sixteenth Watch

Zusatztext “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.” – Buzzfeed "Myke Cole has raised the bar on military sci-fi. Sixteenth Watch pushes the envelope into new and exciting territory." –   Wesley Chu !  New York Times Bestselling Author " Sixteenth Watch  has heart and action in equal measure; Cole's novel blends hi-speed! low-g military science fiction with engaging characters and page-turning pace." – James Swallow !  BAFTA-nominated scriptwriter  "Hard sci-fi fans will appreciate this norm-bucking near-future military tale." – Publishers Weekly   "I loved  Sixteenth Watch  by Myke Cole. Besides being a ripping good read! Cole writes from a place of authority and experience about military! politics! and service." –  Rob Hart! author of  The Warehouse " Sixteenth Watch  is one of those novels that you really want to see turned into a Netflix series so you can binge it and pour the whole thing into your brain." – Starburst Magazine " Sixteenth Watch  follows Jane from her lowest! most heartbreaking moment! and readers will be drawn to her as she proves herself to be a smart! feisty! loyal! loving! complex! tough! and flawed heroine.
