Miranda Chase
Updated at Jan 30, 2023, 21:45
Miranda Chase—the autistic heroine you didn’t expect. Fighting the battles no one else could win. Revenge? A terrorist attack? Or a declaration of war? The head of the Senate Armed Services Committee lies dead. The murder weapon? An Air Force jet deliberately crashed into his DC hotel room. Half a world away in the South China Sea, an F-35C Lightning II — America’s newest fighter jet — crashes during landing. It cripples the aircraft supercarrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. An accident? Or China’s next move toward world domination? Miranda Chase and her NTSB air-crash investigation team are spread thin as they struggle to unravel multiple horrific crashes at once — and halt a global firestorm before it burns them all.  Worst of all? The next target could be Miranda herself. "Miranda is utterly compelling!" - Booklist, starred review “Escape Rating: A. Five Stars! OMG just start with Drone and be prepared for a fantastic binge-read!” -Reading Reality

She never expected to fly as the flight leader. After flying to fire for years, Mickey Hamilton knows who has the real goods and who doesn’t. Except he can’t begin to figure out Robin Harrow. When a phone call from the President sends them rushing to the rescue together, they face both an international crisis as well as the internal one of their hearts. Too bad their chances of survival are falling so fast. “Makes my pulse pound doubly, from the danger and intrigue as well as from the sexy escapades.” – Fresh Fiction “An action-packed story that shares an intimate look at the ‘super heroes’ of real life." – The Reading Cafe [Can be read stand-alone or in series.
