The Winter Soldier

Cold Front

By: Mackenzi Lee

Narrated by: Christian Coulson

1954: The Winter Soldier is the Soviet Union's greatest weapon. Assigned the most dangerous covert missions from the USSR's secret military branch, and guided by a handler who knows him better than he knows himself, he has only one purpose: to obey orders. But he wasn't always the Winter Soldier . . . 1941: As World War II begins, sixteen-yearold Bucky Barnes is determined to enlist in the US army—if only the local commander will stop getting in his way. When Bucky is offered enrollment in a training program with the British Special Operations Executive—the UK's secret service—he leaps at the chance to become a hero. But Bucky has hardly touched down in London when he finds himself running from a mysterious assassin and accompanied by an English chess champion fond of red lipstick and double crosses. She's in possession of a secret every side is desperate to get their hands on. If only they knew what it was . . . Decades later, the Winter Soldier struggles to solve the same mystery Bucky is just beginning to uncover. As their missions intersect across time, their lives collide too—in a way that neither of them would have expected, and that will change the course of their respective wars. In The Winter Soldier: Cold Front, on-sale on February 7, 2023, New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee explores the youth of one of Marvel's most compelling characters, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes—and the enemy soldier he is forced to become.

the story was well written.

backstory is beautifully explained in such detail that it's a must read for any Bucky Barnes fan, tears were sheed. Absolutely loved it.

Best quote “Some pain, he knows, simply has to be survived.”

Not really my taste, but very good writing. Best quote “Some pain, he knows, simply has to be survived.”

Amazing

The narrator did such an amazing job. I wish I could rate this higher. Everything about this was perfect!

How different I thought it would be, because he is so different in the movies.

I love this so much, it had very unexpected twist. I love this book and I hope you consider reading it
