Car Trouble is an early work from Myke Cole, published in 2002 as part of the Wildsidhe Chronicles. It predates his breakout Shadow Ops trilogy by ten years and represents his earliest published fiction in the fantasy genre.
The Wildsidhe Chronicles was a shared-world anthology series featuring contributions from multiple authors. Cole’s entry, Car Trouble, appeared alongside other urban fantasy stories in the same setting. It is a minor piece in his bibliography but interesting for fans who want to trace his development as a writer.
Cole went on to build his career on military fantasy, drawing on his own experience in the Coast Guard and as a government contractor. His Shadow Ops series (beginning with Control Point in 2012) and later historical works like The Armored Saint show how far his writing evolved from this early contribution. Car Trouble is mainly of interest to completists.
