The Immortal Operative series by J.R. Rain follows an immortal spy through two action-oriented novels. Broken Ice (2019) and Broken Wing (2021) mix espionage with the paranormal elements typical of Rain’s fiction.
Rain has written extensively in the paranormal genre, from his Vampire for Hire series to his Samantha Moon novels, and the Immortal Operative books apply that same sensibility to spy fiction. The protagonist’s immortality adds an unusual wrinkle to standard thriller conventions. Where most operatives worry about survival, this character has a different relationship with danger.
Both books are relatively short reads, consistent with Rain’s fast-paced style. Readers familiar with his other series will recognize the tone, while newcomers can start here without needing any prior knowledge of his larger body of work.
