Fly By Wire
Part of the NTSB's "go team," Frank "Jammer" Davis, has a reputation for getting things done. But when he's called in to investigate the highly public crash of a brand new C-500 plane, Davis uncovers a conspiracy of unthinkable proportions--a conspiracy he might not be able to stop.
With its revolutionary fly-by-wire technology, the C-500 had become the freight airframe of choice, praised for its efficiency and reliability. That reputation is shattered when a routine delivery flight ends in catastrophe. The brand new C-500 plummets six miles out of the sky and crashes into central France, resulting in the tragic deaths of its two pilots. As French officials launch a high-profile investigation, they enlist the expertise of Frank Jammer Davis, a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot renowned for his investigative prowess within the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Davis, a man known for his unyielding determination and his ability to bulldoze through obstacles, immediately begins to dig into the circumstances surrounding the crash. However, just as he starts to piece together the puzzle, the world is thrust into chaos by a series of coordinated suicide bombings targeting oil refineries across the globe. These attacks send shockwaves through governments and financial markets, creating a new layer of complexity and urgency to his investigation.
Undeterred by the global hysteria, Davis remains relentless in his quest for answers. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a chilling link between the aircraft disaster and the international terror attacks. This revelation exposes a conspiracy of staggering proportions that threatens global security. Realising the magnitude of what he's up against, Davis must race against time to thwart a sinister plot that goes far beyond a mere aviation accident.
Fly By Wire is a thrilling novel by Ward Larsen that combines high-stakes aviation drama with a captivating conspiracy narrative. The story takes readers on a suspenseful journey through the world of advanced technology, international intrigue, and relentless pursuit for truth. Will Jammer Davis succeed in uncovering the conspiracy before it reaches its devastating conclusion, or will he be stopped before he can reveal the truth? This gripping page-turner keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last.
