Immortal Ops Series World

Mandy M. Roth · 6 series · 23 novels · 3 novellas · 1 novelette · 2004–2021

Somewhere in a black-site file no senator will ever read, a government learned to build a better soldier — then learned it could not control what it built. The Immortal Ops are that experiment walking: werewolves and rarer predators, engineered for the missions no human squad survives, bound to a covert war against the shadow syndicate that made them and now wants them erased. They are also, every one of them, a single bad day from meeting the woman who will wreck them completely. Mandy M. Roth runs the whole clandestine apparatus as interlocking divisions of one secret agency. The founding Immortal Ops team anchors it; PSI-Ops fields psychic operatives, Immortal Outcasts follows the ones the program discarded, and Shadow Agents and Crimson Ops widen the roster across roughly thirty books. Each mission pairs a growling alpha operative with a mate who is rarely the damsel the briefing promised, and the team — profane, loyal, permanently under fire — carries the thread between installments. Expect heat, gunfire, and fated-mate inevitability in roughly equal measure, delivered fast and unapologetic; the appeal is the found-family squad as much as the romance. Newcomers should start at the source, with the flagship Immortal Ops, and let the divisions branch outward from there rather than chasing publication order across every offshoot at once.
