In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Brian J. Morra discusses his new Able Archer series. The first two books -- The Able Archers and The Righteous Arrows -- are available now. The Able Archer series is a work of historical fiction based on certain real-life events during the late Cold War period of the 1980’s, in particular the Soviet Nuclear Crisis in 1983 and the Soviet Union’s brutal war in Afghanistan. The protagonist in the series, CIA officer Kevin Cattani, is inspired by Brian’s own experiences as a former U.S. intelligence officer during that period. Cattani’s Soviet counterpart, Ivan Levchenko, is based on Brian’s memories of various KGB and GRU officers, many of whom defected from the Soviet Union. Written as a thriller, the series begins with the end of the détente between the US and Soviet Union in the early 80’s that put both countries on a collision course for confrontation. That period of time has been described as one of the most dangerous in human history. In this episode, I’ll chat with Brian about his writing journey, the very personal meaning behind the name of his main character, and his plans for the rest of the series (which will include such events as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Persian Gulf War).
