Blades of Winter
by G T Almasi
In one of the most exciting debuts in years, G. T. Almasi has fused the intricate cat-and-mouse games of a John le Carré novel with the brash style of comic book superheroes to create a kick-ass alternate history that reimagines the Cold War as a clash of spies with biological, chemical, and technological enhancements. Nineteen-year-old Alix Nico, a self-described "million-dollar murder machine," is a rising star in ExOps, a covert-action agency that aggressively shields the United States from its three great enemies: the Soviet Union, Greater Germany, and the Nationalist Republic of China. Rather than risk another all-out war, the four superpowers have poured their resources into creating superspies known as Levels.Alix is one of the hottest young American Levels. That’s no surprise: Her dad
was America’s top Level before he was captured and killed eight years ago. But
when an impulsive decision explodes—literally—in her face, Alix uncovers a
conspiracy that pushes her to her limits and could upset the global balance of
power forever.
