John J. Nance’s standalone novels form the core of his fiction output. Written across more than two decades, the 13 books are aviation thrillers that draw on Nance’s experience as a U.S. Air Force pilot, airline captain, and attorney. The novels feature scenarios involving hijackings, mechanical failures, natural disasters, and conspiracies, all set in and around the aviation world.

Pandora’s Clock (1995), about a 747 carrying a deadly plague pathogen that no country will allow to land, was adapted into a television movie. Other novels like Final Approach, Turbulence, and Saving Cascadia tackle different kinds of airborne and ground-based crises. Nance’s technical knowledge gives the flying sequences real credibility, and his legal background adds another dimension to the procedural elements of his plots.
