"So you lot want to be pilots? Bloody hell, Stalin's had it now!" were the withering words of the corporal as he eyed his young National Service recruits for the first time. This autobiographical account, written 60 years later, tells of "the most exciting years" of James Stevenson's life when, aged from 18, he learnt to be a jet fighter pilot with the RAF in Canada. The book is based on carefully preserved letters James wrote home in the 1950s - but also includes some youthful exploits not suitable to reveal to his parents. Not to mention strictly forbidden pretend dog-fights in the air. James Stevenson is the author of two thrillers, Dartmouth Conspiracy and Fly the Storm. But Stalin's Had It Now takes you above the clouds to share the joy of flying in what was one of the fastest aeroplanes on earth. Beautifully written with both humour and sadness in the author's clear, easy, self-deprecating style, it captures a young man's zest for life and for flying - always tinged with worries about whether he would ever make the grade and "get his wings".

The Iron Relic Book I: The Crossing follows pediatric oncologist Adam Calhoun as he searches for the truth behind a religious relic believed to possess the healing powers of Christ. In this fast-paced psychological thriller, betrayal and jealousy turn allies into enemies as the true power of the pendant, and the iron relic it protects, portends a second coming. On his deathbed, billionaire philanthropist Henry Calhoun entrusts a silver crucifix pendant to his dearly beloved great grandson, Adam, and entreats him to keep his possession of it a secret. For, he says, in the small chamber at the back of it rests the broken tip from one of the Holy Nails that pierced Christ's flesh. The legacy soon becomes a nightmare bequest as mystery, murder and miracles ensue, with shadowy figures and thugs for hire crossing paths with Vatican emissaries and forbidden archaeological excavations. As his family implodes, Doctor Adam Calhoun fights not only for his own life, but that of those he loves in this exciting and inspirational thriller of faith, miracles and the quest for eternal life.

Centering on Doctor Adam Calhoun, his possession of the iron relic and the miraculous yet dangerous world he has been thrust into because of it, The Iron Relic Book II: Revelations is the thrilling conclusion to The Iron Relic Book I: The Crossing. Follow Adam as he and Rose Powell travel to Ireland to fulfill the dying wish of his great-grandfather Henry Calhoun- to find the mysterious Alroy Byrne. While abroad, the doctors are hunted by a covert Russian organization, long thought dismantled, intent on seizing the relic at all costs. Meanwhile, back in Ohio, Adam's aunt Helen seeks to team up with the honest detective Hiro Tarsus and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of her son and brother while pursuing a historical lead aimed at revealing the antichrist. As Adam researches the origins of his great-grandfather, we are taken back in time to 1915 where we follow a young Henry Calhoun fighting in the trenches of World War I and discovering miraculous treasures. Secret societies, clandestine government agencies, dark family secrets, World War I battles, archeological treasures & forbidden excavations - What shocking revelations will be unearthed as we learn that the iron relic wasn't the only incredible treasure Henry Calhoun dug up?

In 1915, Henry Calhoun, fleeing the pains of a lost love, decides to join the 10th Irish Division. His desire to see action dissolves shortly after he is involved in the landing at Suvla Bay, in modern day Turkey. Soon he is losing friends at an alarming rate: not just from enemy attacks but from disease caused by living in the trenches. While raiding enemy territory, Calhoun is struck by a bullet and left for dead. When he awakens, he finds he has been taken in by friendly locals and that his near-fatal wounds have healed exceptionally fast. The accelerated healing is due to the locals' use of an ancient artifact-one dating back nearly 2,000 years. Desperate to return to his division, Calhoun leaves the locals' care, but not before taking a piece of the relic with him-a souvenir that will alter the course of his life, the outcome of the war, and perhaps even the fate of humanity.
