Fly by Night

A top-secret drone crashes in the lawless Horn of Africa, an incident that the CIA is initially prepared to write off. However, new evidence suggests that the wreckage of this prized aircraft is hidden in a hangar near Khartoum's main airport. This hangar is operated by a dubious cargo airline named FBN-Fly by Night Aviation, known for flying ancient DC-3s across Africa and the Middle East. The company’s name alone incites further concern within the U.S. government.

The mission to uncover the truth falls to Jammer Davis, the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) most formidable investigator. Despite being notoriously difficult to manage, Davis has a proven track record as the NTSB's top solo operator. With an FBN airplane crash providing a convenient pretext, Davis is dispatched to Sudan ostensibly to investigate the air crash. However, his true objective is far more critical: to locate and secure the priceless remains of America's latest technological marvel.

As he navigates the treacherous landscape of Sudan and delves deeper into the murky world of FBN Aviation, Davis uncovers a web of deceit that extends far beyond a single downed drone. With political stakes high and international tensions simmering, the operation becomes a race against time, where the cost of failure could be catastrophic.
