The award-winning Code Name: Dodger is his first novel. Rebellious teen orphan Justin Reed dreams of the old days fishing with Dad--back before his father's murder.
Justin is determined to find the killer. But in his quest for vengeance, Justin is plunged into a seamy world of intrigue, espionage and assassination. Justin joins forces with CIA Agent Bob Cheney in a frantic search for a missing key that could hold the clue to his father's death--and change the course of world history. But is Cheney really the "good spy" and father figure he pretends to be?
From the mean streets of New York to the halls of Washington, D.C., from Baltimore to L.A., Justin must rely on his old orphan street smarts--and his new CIA training--to track down the Key and stay one step ahead of the Pharaoh, an evil spy bent on keeping him from the truth--at any cost.

The Last Bush Pilots
Mainstream Fiction, Action & Adventure
"As a page-turning adventure novel, you won't want to put it down while the midnight sun still shines!" —Airways Magazine
TOP 100 - AMAZON BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL 2013
"MAYDAY, MADAY! I'M GOING DOWN, I'M GOING D-"
So begins the literary thrill ride, "The Last Bush Pilots."
Two young pilots, Daniel "DC" Alva and Allen David Foley, take on the world's most dangerous flying: the Alaska bush. But Mother Nature-and a sexy Native Alaskan-stand in their way.
Author, airline captain and popular blogger Eric Auxier brings his former Alaska bush flying to life in his second novel, "The Last Bush Pilots." Exhilarating flying, tall tales and larger-than-life characters abound in a wild land that truly is America's Last Frontier.
Southeast Alaska Seaplanes, Juneau. Retired airline Captain, Chief Pilot Dusty Tucker pilots a renegade band of flying misfits. Meet legendary bush pilot Jake "Crash" Whitakker, equally adept at landing planes and ladies-and "crashin' 'em" as well; prankster pilot Ralph Olaphsen, who once set an extinct volcano ablaze on April Fool's Day; and no-nonsense Check Airman Holly Innes, trying to cut a respectable niche in the notoriously macho bush pilot world-while escaping a dangerous past.
Amid Alaska's volatile skies, DC and Allen face escalating challenges in and out of the cockpit. As the two "cheechackos," or greenhorns, learn the ropes, they are also roped into Crash and Ralph's hare-brained scheme, "Operation Dirty Harry." Under the suspicious nose of Draconian FAA Inspector Frederick Bruner, the pilots hatch a plot to hijack and rescue a planeload of orphaned bear cubs. Moreover, mischievous Tlingit Indian Tonya Hunter, as wild and unpredictable as the land in which she lives, plays the two lovestruck cheechackos against each other.
But the true villain of the story is Mother Nature herself. Alaska's notoriously fickle weather and rugged terrain take on a life of its own. Can the two cheechackos survive Her relentless onslaught and launch their fledgeling airline careers?
"Eric Auxier is the next Tom Clancy of Aviation." -Tawni Waters, Author, "Empire of Dirt," "Magdalene's Prayers," "Immortelle," "Best Travel Writers of 2010."
"With over 12,000 hours of Alaskan bush flying, reading 'The Last Bush Pilots' was like looking in a mirror. Nice work, Eric." -CloudDancer, Author, "CloudDancer's Alaskan Chronicles"
