Fantasy
In Ian Tregillis' The Coldest War, a precarious balance of
power maintains the peace between Britain and the USSR. For
decades, Britain's warlocks have been all that stands
between the British Empire and the Soviet Union—a vast
domain stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the shores of
the English Channel. Now each wizard's death is another blow
to Britain's national security.Meanwhile, a brother and
sister escape from a top-secret facility deep behind the
Iron Curtain. Once subjects of a twisted Nazi experiment to
imbue ordinary people with superhuman abilities, then
prisoners of war in the immense Soviet research effort to
reverse-engineer the Nazi technology, they head for
England. Because that's where former spy Raybould Marsh
lives. And Gretel, the mad seer, has plans for him. As Marsh
is once again drawn into the world of Milkweed, he discovers
that Britain's darkest acts didn't end with the war. And
while he strives to protect queen and country, he is forced
to confront his own willingness to accept victory at any cost.
