Publisher's summary
Mina Barrett is the CIA’s best defense against the Dominion. She’s young, charming, intelligent, motivated… and she’s a vampire.
Twenty years ago, vampires revealed themselves to the world. Society hadn’t expected them to be real at all, much less a species entirely separate from humans. The government feared hostile foreign powers would also seek to exploit their psychic talents, and put out a call for recruitment.
After a childhood spent in isolation, Mina saw a chance for adventure and signed on the dotted line. Unlike the Dominion, she doesn’t feel humans are inferior creatures and works to stop others of her kind from enslaving them.
A deep cover asset discovers information that vampires want to keep out of human hands. The CIA sends Mina in to bring him—and his information—out alive. But the Dominion has their sights set on the secrets buried for centuries beneath a Siberian glacier… secrets that could reshape the world.
What Readers are saying:
★★★★★ “So enjoyable! I’m always looking for something lighter and fun, especially in these days of so much hatred and anger; this story was so good. A lot of parts really got me laughing. What an imagination these authors have, and must emphasize their exceptional talent. Really, really enjoyed this and can’t recommend it enough. Great job!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Never a bad book! I really enjoy the collaborations of Rain and Cox. I have read so many of their co-written and solo books that they are like putting on old slippers. The way they vary their storylines and characters makes me wonder how they outline and interconnect their worlds. Love all the books. I will continue to read all you produce!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “The story is a nice mix of urban fantasy themes but does not get mired in the same old boring vampire tropes. Yes, this is a vampire book, but it brings enough new and/or underused ideas to the table that it is refreshing. The character development is well done, and we get a good insight into the main characters. The main character, Mina, is working as a CIA spy. There are no real lulls in the story advancement, so things don’t settle down for long with our hero. The story is put together so that we get some brief slices of life from our hero, as well as a look at the way vampires work in this new world. There are enough story hooks put into this book that I expect there to be several Immortal Operative books in the future. Give it a try.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Action from beginning to end. I love this new series. It has all the ingredients I look for in a series: kick-ass heroine, fighting, suspense, family interaction, and some romance. The heroine is Mina, a vampire operative working for the CIA. Her mission is to stop a group of vampires called Dominion. As their name implies they want to dominate the humans and use them as livestock. Mina is a tough cookie. She can fight and is almost immortal. The book starts as Mina is recovering from jumping off a place without a parachute. We also see her interaction with her sister, daughter, and a possible romance. I like that this series has a different take on vampires and where they originated.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Not just another vampire story. I was a little worried about starting this book. Combining the two genres of vampires and spies is a daring undertaking and could’ve turned out to be very hokey. But having read these two authors before, I had enough faith to give it a try. I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Broken Ice pulls it off very well. This book offers a slightly different take on the vampire legend, while not getting too far away from why we love vampire stories to begin with. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!” —Amazon review

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that.

And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Only Vampire government spy
Hate AI narration. The story was interesting but the AI narration is not the same as when a person narrates. As for the storyline, it’s a cool spin on vampire origin and human/vampire interaction.
