Book 1: Glidepath

Charles Fend, the billionaire CEO of Fend Aerospace, is only days away from launching the world's first autonomous commercial airliner when a mysterious cyber attack threatens to cripple the project. But who is responsible?

Is it the wealthy ex-KGB agent, Pavel Morozov, who has shown up from a past Charles had long-forgotten?

Or was it Charles' own son Max—now on the run from the FBI after he was accused of sending corporate secrets to a criminal enterprise?

And just what is hiding inside the top secret CIA file on Max Fend? The one that even his FBI investigator isn't allowed to see?

GLIDEPATH is a pulse-pounding race to uncover the truth, before it comes crashing down from above...

Book 2: The Oshkosh Connection

A Pakistani intelligence officer secretly communicates with a Mexican drug cartel. A lobbyist is assassinated in the suburbs of Northern Virginia. A US Senator receives death threats from a shadowy group. There is a connection. And Max Fend has only days to discover what it is.

The chase leads CIA asset Max Fend from the Pacific coast of Mexico to the plains of Wisconsin, home of the largest air show in the world - Oshkosh. Beneath the drone of old warbirds and sleek aerobatics aircraft, Max and his partner Renee uncover clues that point to a global conspiracy. A conspiracy that traces back to the start of the war in Afghanistan, that explains the explosive growth of opioid use around the world, and creeps into the highest halls of power. With the clock ticking down on an ambitious assassination plot, Max and Renee must uncover the truth, before it's too late...

,Finish the first book Glidepath , wow can't wait to continue with The Oshkosh Connection.

This Max Fend Glidepath gives you inside look into who Max really is. Max has a pretty exciting life as a wealthy playboy running around Europe with beautiful women. Coming back home, Max had to make the decision to join his father in Fend Aerospace. Charles Fend had decided to retire, he wanted to have Max take over the company. Max had been framed, and Renee an ex girlfriend joined forces to prove Max's innocents. Meanwhile the cartels in Mexico are pushing the opioid in the USA. This was an exciting fast moving story from Mexico to Oshkosh. Excellent read.

I liked these books. Max could have been more forceful. He also should of cut off Wilkes well before some of the circumstances came up. Could have eliminated Williams earlier in my opinion. may read more!
