The Kat Bronsky series by John J. Nance features a female airline pilot as its central character. In The Last Hostage (1998), Kat confronts a hijacking situation that forces her to rely on both her flying skills and her ability to negotiate under extreme pressure. Blackout (2000) puts her in another dangerous scenario that only her aviation expertise can resolve.
Nance, himself a veteran commercial and military pilot, brings firsthand knowledge to Kat’s cockpit scenes and technical situations. The two books are fast-paced aviation thrillers that benefit from Nance’s ability to make the mechanics of flying accessible while keeping the tension high.
