Bio

"The debut of reporter, military pilot and Vietnam veteran A. F. Ebbers, Dangerous Past is an aviation thriller about an airline captain and Vietnam veteran haunted by the choices he made in his past, and hunted by mysterious assailants. Suspended from his job after the airliner he was flying suffers a horrifying decompression explosion, Captain Frank Braden is under suspicion of the FBI for causing the accident in a suicide attempt: yet the truth of the intrigue closing in upon him and his wife is much more sinister. As the death threats mount, and his efforts to alert the authorities are dismissed as schizophrenic rantings, he must search for answers amid corruption in the highest levels of Washington. A gripping page-turner to the very end."
----MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW.

"DANGEROUS PAST is a quick reading civilian/military thriller guaranteed to keep your attention for hours on end. Daedalian A. F. Ebbers has really made this one an 'exciting tale of intrigue and death by an excellent writer', praises Col Walter Boyne in his review, and this reviewer agrees. Ebbers does seem to 'rock the highest levels in Washington' in his first novel. Fast moving, with a fresh plot, and with an exciting ending."
