About the Book
Lost Procedure is a high-tension suspense novel that blends the technical realism of aviation with the moral pressure of a man cornered by life. At its center is Baron Fisher, a pilot who has spent decades mastering the sky, only to discover that the real danger begins the moment he decides to break the rules on the ground.
What begins as a desperate attempt to save his finances and protect his future with his daughter becomes a spiral into covert flights, dangerous handlers, federal scrutiny, and escalating choices that refuse to stay compartmentalized.
This is a story about how good men fall, how quickly survival can become compromise, and how every shortcut carries its own altitude loss.
He flies by the rules for a living.
But one desperate decision sends him far beyond them.
Baron Fisher is a seasoned cargo pilot who trusts checklists, control, and the quiet certainty of the cockpit. But on the ground, his life is coming apart, debt is mounting, custody of his daughter is slipping away, and every overdue bill tightens the pressure. When an old contact offers one illegal flight for fast cash, Baron tells himself it is temporary. Necessary. Survivable.
He is wrong.
As the money grows, so do the stakes. Smuggling runs turn more dangerous. The men behind them become harder to escape. Federal agents close in. And the line between provider and criminal begins to disappear in the darkness above the Atlantic.
A gripping aviation thriller about desperation, consequence, and the price of trying to outrun your own descent.

About the Author
Yigal Hezi is a former commercial pilot whose experience in aviation, and the high-stakes realities that exist beyond it… served as the inspiration for Lost Procedure.
Becoming a commercial pilot required years of rigorous training, thousands of hours of study, and a significant financial investment. Hezi committed himself fully to that path, earning his place in the cockpit and living the life many dream of flying above the clouds, where the world below feels distant and out of reach.
But aviation, like life, is built on decisions.
Lost Procedure is a work of fiction inspired by real-world experiences, blending authentic aviation detail with a gripping narrative of pressure, risk, and consequence.
While the story and its characters have been shaped for storytelling, the emotional and professional realities behind them reflect a deeper truth about the weight of choices, and how quickly a single decision can change everything.
Through this novel, Hezi offers a high-intensity aviation thriller grounded in realism, while exploring a universal question:
How far can someone go
before there’s no way back?
One desperate flight changed everything.
