About the Jammer Davis series
Frank "Jammer" Davis is an air-crash investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, a job that lets Ward Larsen — a former F-16 pilot and airline captain — put his real aviation expertise to direct use. Fly By Wire (2010) and Fly By Night (2011) send Davis into crash investigations that uncover conspiracies far larger than mechanical failure, and Passenger 19 (2016) continues the pattern with a disappeared aircraft and the cover-up behind it. The appeal is procedural authenticity: Larsen writes crash investigation, flight mechanics and aviation-industry politics with an insider's precision, wrapped around a classic thriller structure of an ordinary-seeming disaster hiding a deliberate crime.
How to read this series
Read in publication order: Fly By Wire (2010), Fly By Night (2011), Passenger 19 (2016). Each is a self-contained investigation, though Davis's personal life and reputation carry over between books.
