What Readers are saying:
“Another home run read from Susan Grant! As a fellow pilot, I thoroughly enjoyed the strong female lead who is a pilot in the USAF, and the great attention to aviation detail. With that said, you definitely don’t have to be a pilot to enjoy this book! Non-Stop action, two hot guys, a future in which the world powers have changed, and daring escapes. [I] couldn’t put it down!”
–Reader reviewer
“If Grant’s faithful fighter jet descriptions don’t snag readers from the outset, her fierce, funny, tough-as-nails heroine will. With its cliffhanger conclusion, awe-inspiring characters and droll humor, this book is a strong launch for a very promising series.” — Publishers Weekly
“I am hooked, I enjoyed every part of this fast action book, Bree is my kind of heroine, smart, brave and not a dam bit whiney”– Reader reviewer
“Legend of Banzai Maguire…is a story that would make a great movie and I would pay to see it.”– Reader reviewer

A great beach read–just in time for the Fourth of July!
While I love reading (and writing) historical romance, sometimes I crave something futuristic and action-packed … which is exactly what I found in Susan Grant’s 2176 Freedom Series.
This two-book series featuring The Legend of Banzai Maguire and The Scarlet Empress has it all: gripping adventure, rapid-fire action, strong emotional bonds, and a fascinating peek into what the world could be like in the year 2176.
Bree Maguire, call sign “Banzai,” is a United States Air Force pilot in 2016, flying what she thinks will be a routine patrol sortie over North Korea. But a surface-to-air missile operator takes down not only Banzai’s F-16, but also Cam Tucker’s, Banzai’s wingman and best friend. After being tracked on the ground, both women are captured and put into bio-stasis.
One hundred sixty years later, Banzai awakens to find Tyler “Ty” Armstrong, a SEAL for the United Colonies of Earth (UCE), lifting her out of the pod bed.
Ty is a crack commando, having navigated dangerous underwater territory to find the cave where Banzai has been asleep these many years. He’s also a treasure hunter. The treasure he’s been seeking? Banzai, the pilot who became a legend through the centuries, and whose presence in the year 2176 immediately sparks a cry of freedom that rings across the land.
Grant ratchets up the suspense and kicks the action into overdrive as Banzai becomes the coveted prize of the Asian Kingdom, the UCE, and an enigmatic Shadow Voice. Banzai doesn’t know whom to trust, and she’s desperate to find her wingman. Talented and resourceful, she meets every challenge head-on.
But the world is teetering on the threshold of change. Even the U.S. flag has undergone a transformation. Once it’s known that Banzai is alive and kicking, and possibly Cam as well, protestors of oppression begin waving “Old Glory.” It’s a sight that stirs Banzai’s soul as she remembers how many bled to keep that flag waving in her own time.
The chemistry between Banzai and Ty is explosive, their banter sexy and fun. And in the second book, The Scarlet Empress, Grant’s writing just zings as she propels the brave and passionate characters of Cam Tucker and Prince Kyber on a journey that literally saves the world.
There’s a wealth of emotion and energy in every scene of these books. Whether you’re a fan of science fiction, action-adventure or romance, I think you’ll enjoy Grant’s 2176 Freedom Series!
