COIL Legacy
Distant Harm
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!
Bonuses in DISTANT HARM include: an Author's Note, Endnotes about Open Doors Ministry, a character sketch, a glossary, and a link to FREE map downloads. Cover design by Streetlight Graphics.

Don't miss this series.
I recommend that all faithful servants of our Savior be prepared to suffer for His sake. We are under spiritual attack and prayer is our greatest strength along with the Word.

Telbat writes books that tell the truth about what happens to Christians in various parts of the world, or what could happen. He always includes a great picture of how true Christians live, and when he puts it together it's amazing!. When you read his books, you feel energized and more determined to live for Christ yourself. You'll want to help those who are suffering for their faith. You will also feel like you personally know each of the characters; that they're each a close friend. You might even dream about them! I'm looking forward to reading more of his wonderful books!

AMAZING!!
Absolutely amazing! This book kept me up until 4 in the morning. I read the whole book in 2 days. It is gripping from start to finish and I love the development of the characters. I identified with Titus Caspertein and I'm really glad that his character took the turn that it did. God can use all of us in his way. After reading this I truly wish I was more on the front lines than I am. I don't want to be a comfortable believer in times like this. Thank you so much for such encouragement in our Christian walk! May we all be as strong and devoted to Christ as these characters are!

Great Book!
Telbat hits the nail on the head. I have to shake myself up that’s it’s only fictional. That being said, his writings may prove to be prophetic. I believe America IS in deep trouble. It’s likely we will be judged soon and our country will crumble unless we repent and God pours out His mercy on us. But on the other hand, judgement would cleanse the church and that may begin a revival unmatched in our history. I have the same view as Telbat’s characters. If tribulation comes I want to help and minister to others with everything I’ve got—even with my life! Help us Lord!

Awesome and intense
I so enjoyed this book in the series. I believe that if your heart isn't touched, well I would be very surprised. There is adventure, it's a thriller you can't put down. If you want to be blessed, encouraged and excited about your service to our Lord and Saviour, READ IT! I also received a complimentary PDF copy of Distant Harm for review. I wasn't required to give a positive review only my honest opinion which I have done.

I'll say it again
Never have I been disappointed in any of the COIL series. Distant Harm had lots of adventure, family closeness and caring. In everyone of Mr Telbat's books you are shown the cruelty of other countries, not to mention points of interest, landscapes, food and customs. Most of the agents are getting older which is sad but I am looking forward to the next generation. Thank you, Mr Telnet for an educational, inspirational, page-turner.

Mr. Telbat just keeps the thrills coming.
This is the most intense mission to date by COIL. The pace keeps on moving with the planning. Addd Levi to the mic for Titus Caspertein and things are truly entertaining. Not only is this book another great thriller by Mr. Telbat but it will certchallenge your attitude toward your faith. Now excuse me, I need to start on the next book before I have withdrawal symptoms.

Great series, fantastic story telling
I am so happy I was introduced to DI Telbat, very good writer and story teller of stories with a spiritual foundation. Even if you are not a Christian the author illustrates who real Christians are and the cost which is paid to become a true follower of Christ. It’s more than going to church on Sunday morning. Really great and very challenging !

Amazing book!
I love this BOOK AND THE WHOLE SERIES! As a Christian in America, this opens the eyes to see and understand persecution if Christians in other countries. It is a great reminder that even though the body can be tortured and killed,our soul is safe with God. Belief in Jesus can calm our fears and give hope and comfort to us all.
