The Tranquility series is a military science fiction collaboration between Josh Hayes and Devon C. Ford, published in 2021. The series centers on Blood and Steel, which drops soldiers into a futuristic conflict where blood is spilled and steel is tested in the fires of interstellar warfare.
The series includes three entries: a series introduction, Blood and Steel, and Battle Lines. Hayes brings his background as a veteran and former police officer, while Ford contributes his own experience writing post-apocalyptic and military science fiction. The result is a series focused on ground-level combat, tactical decisions, and the cost of war in a distant future.
Tranquility fits squarely into the military sci-fi genre that both authors work in, and readers who enjoy their other series will find familiar territory here. The books move quickly and spend more time on action sequences and unit dynamics than on political intrigue.
