An Interview with Author Jeffrey Fortney

Tamara Wilhite: What are the “Terra-Bravo” novels about? And how many books are in your military scifi “Terra-Bravo Saga” series now?

Jeff Fortney: The “Terra-Bravo” novels begin in “Chaos on Terra-Prime” with the United States entering into a “cold” civil war, leaving many of our military personnel stranded overseas. This civil war effectively removes the U.S. as a global power, and terrorist nations around the world take advantage of that absence to spread their dominion over other countries.

I checked on amazon. That was a trilogy. Oddly, no one has rated it yet. It was written in 2017. Here is the Amazon description of the plot:

“Torn from today’s headlines: - Growing divisiveness in the United States - Federal policies destroying the American Dream - U.S. military stretched to the limit - Illegals flooding our unsecured borders - Drug cartels terrorizing the southern border states - Danger of pandemic within the United States - The growing threat of Radical Islamists around the globe War weary Major Marcus A. Roman returns home to Arizona, ready to move on with his life. The former Special Forces operative finds his home state besieged on many levels. When the Federal Government fails to protect its citizens along the border with Mexico, Arizona’s governor and legislature take steps to protect the citizens of the Grand Canyon State. Marcus and his family are drawn into the crossfire when he and his father are recruited to help form the state’s new first-line of defense...the Arizona State Guard!”

I’m guessing that was the first novel in Arizona State Guard trilogy. Anyway, I like the premise. It caught my eye in the description that there is a threat of a pandemic breaking out in America as the book was written before the Covid pandemic.

Do you remember if you liked the book?
