Andrew Watts’s Max Fend series stars a naval aviator who keeps finding himself in the wrong place at the right time. Glidepath (2017) introduces Fend during a test flight that goes sideways, and the sequels take him into increasingly high-stakes territory with The Oshkosh Connection and Air Race.

The three books are tighter and more contained than Watts’s War Planners series, with a single protagonist driving the action rather than a sprawling ensemble. Aviation fans will appreciate the detailed flight sequences, while thriller readers will find the pacing brisk and the plots satisfyingly twisty. The series works best when read in order, since Fend’s character develops across all three books.
