Critical Altitude

By A.L. Ferguson

The patient comes first. The crew comes home. The truth comes last.

Flight paramedic Liv Pruitt can keep her hands steady in the worst conditions. Bad weather. Bad calls. Bad choices. She can live with all of it as long as the crew comes home.

Then a new flight physician joins Vantage Seven with a contract, a clipboard, and questions no one wants asked. Dr. Boone
Mercer looks like another corporate problem until his judgment saves a patient Liv might have lost.

When a company helicopter goes down in conditions no pilot should have accepted, the official story arrives too clean. Maintenance logs look perfect. Schedules look legal. The safety record shines for investors.

But the people who were there know better.

Now Liv, her partner Kate, her pilot Jordan, and the man she is not supposed to trust have to decide what the truth is worth. Exposing it could ground them all. Staying quiet could bury someone they love.

Critical Altitude is a gritty medical aviation thriller about flight crews, survival, loyalty, slow-burn tension, and the cost of doing the right thing when the system depends on silence.
