Hangar Three,
0538 local
Daniel sat motionless in the left seat, checklist balanced on his knee, just above the zipped pouch where the wings stayed.
He hadn't touched them in weeks. Didn't need to. Not unless something went wrong.

to the work.
Jaxon Reade writes the way a good crew debriefs: plainly, honestly, and without raising his voice. His novels move between two worlds, the ground and the air, and keep faith with the people who carry the weight in both. Whatever time the books leave him, he gives to his community.
