NEW YORK, N.Y. /CitizenWire/ — Clive Cussler, two months before he died, said of Layne Sheppard, protagonist in Christopher LaGrone’s dynamic U.S. Border Patrol novels that comprise the new Delta Tango Trilogy from Morgan James Publishing: “His life of trials and sorrows rivals any fiction story today.” Book One: “Fleeing The Past” is available now in bookstores everywhere and online.

Such high praise from one of the most successful adventure authors of all time is impressive – even more so considering that Cussler was commenting on debut work.
Once a Border Patrol agent himself, LaGrone draws on his own experiences as a recruit, field trainee and border agent to create what Margaret Coel, New York Times best-selling author of “Winter’s Child” and more than two dozen other novels and non-fiction books, calls “a heartbreakingly honest tale of the lives that intersect and are forever changed along our bleak and dangerous southern border.”
The Delta Tango Trilogy is unlike any previously published immigration-themed novel, in that it looks at border enforcement from the perspective of the line agent, beginning with the arduous training would-be agents must survive. The Trilogy captures the desperation that drives undocumented immigrants to risk their lives wandering in the desert, while also documenting the mixed emotions experienced by those who are tasked with apprehending them.
“These are important novels, not to be missed or forgotten,” Margaret Coel added.
In “Fleeing The Past” LaGrone provides readers with an intimate look at the rigorous training Border Patrol recruits must complete just to advance to field trainee status, and introduces Felina Camarena Rivera, one of those so-called “Dreamers,” who aspires to become a doctor-if only she can become a U.S. citizen. As Sheppard strives to overcome his own checkered past by becoming a border agent, he falls in love with the very type of person he is training to apprehend.
Succeeding books follow Sheppard through the dangers, boredom and contradictions of field work and the intrigue of Patrol politics, as well as what Clive Cussler termed the “personal problems and challenges” that revolve around his conflicted relationship with Felina, who desperately pursues her dream.
Book 2: “Felina’s Spell,” and Book 3: “Moments of Truth” will be released at intervals later in 2021.
