Bob Norris was born on March 20, 1955 inGermany, where his father Bill (a test pilot for the Air Force), was stationed. He learnedhow to fly in the Navy and spent the next 19 years flying fighter jets. In January of 1996he went from one doctor to another trying to find out why he was suffering paralysis andlosing his senses of smell, hearing and taste. The answer was a rare brain condition thatrequired eight and a half hours of the most technologically advanced brain surgery. Forthe next four days he lay awake, pumped full of steroids to keep the brain swelling down.That's when he kept his mind busy by falling back on his POW survival training. He tackledan "impossible" task ... he wrote his first novel. "Check Six" soldwell enough that the publisher commissioned another book, "Fly Off," and nowhe's writing books three and four in the series.
