I just finished reading "Castigo Cay" and "The Red Cliffs of Zerhoun" by Matt Bracken (Free Republic handle Travis McGee). These books are the first two of a trilogy with the third book due to be available in a few months. I also read his "Enemies" trilogy a long time ago and need to reread them. About 100 pages of each of these books can be read at his website https://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/.

Excellent series that I think back on from time to time. Matt Bracken is a gifted storyteller.

I highly recommend the works of Matt Bracken as well.

I’d add his Anthology as well, with a focus on the stories of Dr. X and When The Music Stops.

Didn’t realize Matt was (finally?) going to write another book after Zerhoun. Zerhoun to me was very compelling historical fiction, so to speak. I contributed in a small way as an editor to that storyline early on. He also had a number of working titles and covers early on.

In addition to Matt’s books and short stories, I’d recommend the two that follow:

Day of Wrath by William Forschten (more of a novella than a book). Breathtakingly real fiction. https://www.amazon.com/Day-Wrath-William-R-Forstchen-ebook/dp/B00MU1NNRO

Attack by Kurt Schlichter. Essentially an after-action report of an October 7th style attack within the US. The style reminded me of Red Storm Rising by Clancy. https://www.amazon.com/Attack-Kurt-Schlichter-ebook/dp/B0CR1N7R8T

Yeah, fine books.. They would make a very good movie series, but the entire cast would probably go to jail right after.. :)
