Who would have thought that I would enjoy a book about a former fighter pilot named Jammer, who investigates plane crashes? But I liked it a lot! Although I didn’t understand all the technical stuff, it is clear that the author knows what he is writing about. Reading this is kind of like watching an action movie without too much gore. I wasn’t looking for a lot of realistic characters but the main ones were well-drawn and their motivation was clear. This is the second book in the series (of 3 books, so far) and I plan to find the other 2.

Fly by Night is the second book about Jammer Davis and although not as good as the first it still is a solid four star read. I just love the character Jammer. Ward Larsen sure seems to know what he writes about and this series sure brings something new to the thriller genre. I sincerely hope that he will write more about Davis. I highly recommend this series and if you like it then you should try the David Slaton series as well. Larsen is a solid story teller.

Definitely kept me engaged when I was reading it, but I’m not a fan of the characterization (or really, the heavy reliance on stereotypes for characterization). The technical details were spot on though.
