Get over 1,200 pages in three page-turning, pulse-pounding, action-filled thrillers following Cass Wheeler and her SWAT team of Mage Hunters! If you're looking for a good old fashioned shoot 'em up rollercoaster ride complete with magic and monsters, the "Mage Hunters" series is for you! Shards Of Magic. Machine-guns. Mayhem. SWAT teams versus rogue wizards... it's all in a day's work. In a world where magic is mainstream, somebody's got to deal with the mages that go rogue. That somebody is Cass Wheeler, the leader of a specialized SWAT team tasked with bringing justice to those who use their magic towards nefarious ends. Now, she and her team of mages and shooters will face their most dangerous opponent a master level wizard gone mad, holed up in a high-rise building and holding an entire city hostage with his powers. Two squads have fallen to the master already... will Cass's team suffer the same fate? Resurrection The only thing worse than a prison riot, is a prison riot of rogue mages. Cass Wheeler, former SWAT team leader and premier mage hunter, has been wrongfully imprisoned in Trubuilt 187, a prison built to house the very same mages and criminals she’s put behind bars. Now, when a mysterious outsider engineers a lethal prison riot to take over the prison for unknown purposes, Cass is forced to take action. Along with Dread, her former partner and lover, and new allies, she must face down an enigmatic death mage and thwart her murderous plans to take control of the prison, or risk becoming yet another victim of the necromancer’s diabolical plot for power and domination. Full of magic, pulse-pounding action, and suspense, “Resurrection Day” will keep you up at night turning the pages until the explosive conclusion. The Intron A death mage at large. A magical weapon of mass destruction. A city in peril. In the aftermath of the destruction of Trubuilt 187 prison, Cass and her team of mage hunters discover that the death mage Kel and her protege Fly are moving forward with their plans for power and domination. Even worse, more rogue mages have emerged from the shadows, some allied with Kel and some in competition with her for the power that the mysterious Intron Code can bestow. Can the Mage Hunters unravel the mystery of the Intron Code and defeat the death mages before the entire city is torn apart? Third in the innovative and action-packed “Mage Hunters” series, “The Intron Code” will keep you turning the pages until the explosive conclusion.

The Mage Hunters Box Set contains the first three novels (with possibly more on the way?) of the excellent Mage Hunters series, written by Andrew C Piazza. The three novels are: Shards of Glass (2012, updated 2019), Resurrection Day (2018), and the Intron Code (2019), excellent novels all.
The series is set in today's world, albeit with one important difference: magic is mainstream. With use of magic, though, comes abuse of it as well, by some. Fortunately, SWAT leader Cass Wheeler and her team are around to put a stop to those who would use magic for diabolical purposes. The three novels follow Cass, Dredd, and their team as they encounter all manner of magical baddies and find ways to deal with the threats. What they encounter over the three novels will bring them to their breaking point and could spell doom for the world as we know it. Are the eccentric but venerable heroes up the task?
The Mage Hunters series really breaks new ground when it comes to genre. The books are equal parts urban fantasy and police action-thriller, with some horror elements and humor thrown in for good measure. This potent mix of genres is one of the most effective I've seen, and I applaud author Piazza for his expert skill in concocting such a dynamite blend.
Piazza also brings the action! Over the course of the three novels he has written some of the most exciting, manic, and breathless action scenes I've ever read. The combination of exotic magic with a good ol' shoot-'em-up makes for incredibly unique opportunities when it comes to action. Piazza takes full advantage of this, with stellar results. The shifting PoV is also a nice touch. It can take a little getting used to, but it fits in well with a book that is already quite unique.
The Mage Hunters series is such well-written fare, with great characterization, exiting action, and awesome genre ideas. I'm happy to hype these books, because I know you will love them, and are in for treat when you pick them up!
Be sure to check out Piazza's other books as well. One Last Gasp is an incredible WWII horror thriller, and Strange Days is a delightfully eclectic short story collection.

Love these books!
The books in this have, as you might expect, three storylines. The first is a tale of a paranormal SWAT team, the second is a prison riot where the good guys are imprisoned, and the third is trying to stop the Big Bad, as it were.
Cass and Dread are really great characters. It's easy to see their motivations. ANF they are definitely good guys. I wouldn't call these humorous books, but there are humorous exchanges. The third one has a few more funny bits, which I like. I liked Jolly, Mickey grew on me, and I was moved when Lysette redeemed herself. I want more of these characters.
