Description
The Coldest War by Ian Tregillis is set in an alternate 20th century where Britain's warlocks have been crucial to its national security. Now, with each wizard's death, the nation faces increased vulnerability. A brother and sister, subjects of a Nazi experiment, escape from a top-secret facility behind the Iron Curtain, seeking refuge in England. They are drawn into the world of former spy Raybould Marsh, who is once again entangled in the complex web of magic and politics. As he strives to protect his country, Marsh must confront his own willingness to accept victory at any cost. The Coldest War is a chilling novel that explores the darker aspects of history. This is the second book in Ian Tregillis's Milkweed Triptych series, which offers a unique blend of magic and science set against a tumultuous historical backdrop.
