Myke Cole bridges military service and fiction writing in a way few authors can match. His Shadow Ops trilogy (Control Point, Fortress Frontier, Breach Zone) imagines a world where people develop magical abilities and the military has to figure out how to control and deploy them. The Reawakening Trilogy (Gemini Cell, Javelin Rain, Siege Line) prequels the main series. His Sacred Throne novellas shift to a medieval fantasy setting but keep the military themes.
Beyond fiction, Cole has contributed extensively to military history publishing, with his work appearing in over a hundred titles covering everything from World War II tank warfare to Napoleonic armies to modern special forces. His own non-fiction books include The Killing Ground: A Biography of Thermopylae and Steel Lobsters about English knights. He also writes Sixteenth Watch, a near-future military science fiction novel set in a Coast Guard conflict on the Moon.
