ReviewsPraise for the Jammer Davis Series "Larsen, a former Air Force fighter pilot who's flown many combat missions, is a skilled writer who knows his technology, but does not let it overwhelm his story. His latest [ Fly By Night ] is a solid action novel that will appeal to aviation thriller junkies who enjoy John J. Nance and Dana Haynes." Library Journal, "I love thriller authors who live what they write about. Ward Larsen is an airline captain who also flew combat missions and worked on aircraft accident investigations. In Fly By Wire , he brings his expert background to a gripping, entertaining, informative thriller that feels authentic on every page."-- David Morrell , New York Times best-selling author " Fly By Wire combines the complexities of aircraft technology, international conspiracies, terrorism, oil shortages, falling financial markets, and a father's love for his teenage daughter with an ease that is breathtaking."-- Mystery Scene Magazine "Larsen is fast becoming a thriller writer to watch. He clearly knows his subject matter and has a knack for writing about technology without it getting in the way of the story or the characters. Fans of the aviation thrillers of John Nance and of Michael Crichton's Airframe (1996) will find much to enjoy here."-- Booklist "The descriptions of the crash scene and of Jammer's investigative work are masterfully done, and there is a superb fight scene or two with Jammer and cohorts."-- Sacramento Book Review/San Francisco Book Review "Ward Larsen once again aces style and substance in his new release, Fly by Wire .
