Max Fend

Max Fend is a naval aviator and the protagonist of Andrew Watts's three-book military thriller series.

Max Fend is a naval aviator created by author Andrew Watts. He first appears in Glidepath (2017), where a routine test flight turns into something far more dangerous. Across three novels, Fend finds himself tangled in conspiracies and high-speed chases that test his skills both in the air and on the ground.

Fend is the kind of protagonist who thinks on his feet and acts fast when things go wrong. He is not a superhero or an invincible action figure, which makes the dangerous situations he lands in feel real. Readers who enjoy military thriller heroes like Mitch Rapp or Jack Ryan will find Fend a solid addition to the genre.
