Beneath the drone of old warbirds and sleek aerobatics aircraft, Max and his partner Renee uncover clues that point to a global conspiracy. A conspiracy that traces back to the start of the war in Afghanistan, that explains the explosive growth of opioid use around the world, and creeps into the highest halls of power.

Better than Tom Clancy...

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018

In the past, I have read books by Tom Clancy, and other military / CIA / Spy authors and became so bored and bogged down with minute details about the military equipment like submarines, ships, aircraft, etc. that I just gave up and quit reading the book! His books are excellent!! One thing I appreciate is that he doesn't spew an obscene amount of facts and details about the aircraft in his books to the point you wonder, "What in the hell happened to the plot?" Instead, he tells you just enough to understand the plot and the action scenes in the book. Also, just when you think you have figured out what will happen next, he throws a curve ball, and it's never what you would expect. I love this! I have read each and every one of his books and have lost count how many times my mouth has literally dropped open because I am shocked at all the twist and turns he writes into his books. HE IS VERY UNDERATED IN THE THRILLER GENRE! Also, he gives you background info. on the characters in the books so you don't feel like you've been thrown in to the middle of the book, Which I very much appreciate! The background info. helps you understand why the characters respond in the way they do. It makes the book come more alive, like the characters are your friends or foes. Another awesome thing he does is take the time to write a few paragraphs and recap the previous book in the series. He is a great writer! I am so disappointed when his books end and at the same time I can't wait until the next book comes out. It's amazing to me that some of the thriller authors are considered "the best in the thriller genre" when they don't hold a candle to Andrew Watts.

Max Fend and his friends are great characters.

I had almost forgotten about this series but I'm glad I found this one. The Oshkosh Connection by Andrew Watts is the second book about Max Fend. This is a well written series and there's more on the way which is great news. If you like suspenseful thrillers this is something to try. Well written with a good plot and great characters. Now it's just a waiting game until the third one releases.

This is the second novel I read by Andrew Watts - first one was Glidepath - which was also an excellent read. You get re-introduced to the same characters in this novel as well as some new ones and even if you never read Glidepath - Oshkosh Connection is a stand alone read but I recommend you also read Glidepath because it is very good! Very strong and exciting reads, could not put the books down. I pride myself in being a good sleuth but these stories had me guessing until the end - great twists and turns, love that you know who and Max are getting together. Looking forward to more Max Fend!

I “marathoned” this one

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020

...the second of the Fend books is better than the first so I’m sure the 3rd will rock. The only real criticism I have is that Renee played a bit too much the “damsel in distress” role... but unlike #1,there were some good plot turns and character development. The flight stuff was good ( no surprise there) and the hats off to the Tuskegee Airman was a very nice and honorable touch. Keep up the good work Andrew!

I have read all of Andrew Watts books. I enjoyed The Oshkosh Connection but it was not his best work. Plot was fairly predictable and characters did not develop much since last Max Fend book. Still worth reading and wish Andrew all the best with future projects. Waiting for the next War Planners book.

Great book, great read and seems like it was written just for me! Consider that I'll be at Oshkosh again this year and that I recently wen't for a ride in the Ford TriMotor! As a pilot, I need accuracy when flying and airplanes are discussed. Andrew gets it right. His images of the Oshkosh experience are accurate and are real to me but his plots are brilliant and unpredictable. I got hooked on "Glidepath", the first Andrew Watts book I read and I've gone on to read everything he has written. The War Planners series will hook you also..

Have You Been to the Oshkosh Air Show? Have you visited with the drug cartels of Mexico? After a sit down with this novel you will at least feel that the author has, and maybe think you no longer need the experience. Max Fend excellent as he develops his partners , Trent and Renee.

Another good read from Andrew Watts, has a gripping storyline and builds nicely to the end. If you enjoyed "Flightpath" then this is the obvious choice as the next book to read.

Strictly okay, drags in the second half

Reviewed in India on April 4, 2022

Started really well. The story picks up right from the first chapter. A Pakistani ISI agent is conspiring with Mexican cartel which leads Max Fend and his team down to Mexico to fetch a cartel boss. The action was edge of sear, smart tradecraft utilised, the stakes were higher. Then the story moved to Oshkosh air show and the author turned everything around aircrafts (he's a former Navy pilot, so I can see his love of flying). However we are here for a spy novel but the author spends most of the second half around airplanes and flying which becomes boring after a while. The climax was a saviour though and the conspiracy was interesting. Will try Wall Planner series too.
