On takeoff from Denver during a winter blizzard, an airliner piloted by veteran Captain Marty Mitchell overruns a commuter plane from behind. Bizarrely, the fuselage of the smaller aircraft is tenuously wedged onto the huge right wing of his Boeing 757, leading Mitchell to an impossible life-or-death choice.

Another One Bites The Dust: LOCKOUT’s John Nance On Aircraft Accidents

Author John Nance On The “Writer’s Curse”
I have to laugh when someone looks at my list of books written over the past few decades and jumps to the conclusion that I am incredibly disciplined.

I wish I was capable of such … [Read more...]
LOCKOUT’s John J. Nance Discusses How He Comes Up With His Bestselling Book Plots
As an author whose stock in trade is telling exciting stories and, hopefully, keeping you up past midnight (the way a great thriller always keeps ME flipping pages till dawn), I love it when you guys are interested enough in the backstage machinery to ask how I come up with plots like LOCKOUT. I could be flippant and say it takes a lot of scotch and cigars sitting on the back deck, but in reality, it’s more of an orderly procedure. First, I … [Read more...]
