DISTANT HARM: Book Three of The COIL Legacyby D.I. Telbat

In DISTANT HARM, Book Three of The COIL Legacy by D.I. TELBAT, COIL’s legacy is threatened in a violent land!

Christian persecution in North Korea has reached a fevered pitch. A pregnant woman and her husband have been arrested and are caught in the crosshairs of the wicked regime. Their executions are imminent, and rescue inside the oppressive country seems impossible as winter looms and sadistic plotting boils over . . .

But COIL operatives serve a God who can do the impossible. As the brutal regime prepares for another missile launch to celebrate the next highly-publicized execution, Corban Dowler tasks his most trusted field agents to work out a sophisticated rescue–though this one will certainly cost COIL lives.

Titus Caspertein, Chloe Azmaveth, and Luigi Putelli gather with the most elite Christian Special Forces operatives from the past. COIL pulls no stops as they prepare for a joint covert mission into the heart of a government that threatens an unprecedented attack marked by a blood offering. Evil has never seemed so determined.

Though COIL agents have prepared to face communist prison guards, they still need to train new recruits–the K.O.N.s. In what could be their darkest hour, these selfless volunteers rejoice that they have the honor to serve and, if necessary, to die for Jesus, as they intercede with courageous compassion in North Korea.

In The COIL Legacy’s final installment, Operation: Harm’s Way becomes the most dangerous effort of Corban Dowler and Titus Caspertein in the reclusive hermit kingdom of North Korea. The world is about to change, and though Titus can see it coming, all he can do is remain steadfast for Christ with other COIL agents. Together they have learned that without sacrifice, there is no redemption. But a new dawn is on the horizon for COIL!
