Shropshire is not a place usually associated with natural caves, due to its irregular geological positioning. Nevertheless, unknown to many, there are small numbers of explorable cave passages and underground features to be found. Nearly a decade ago, Steve Powell noticed how quickly Shropshire's hidden heritage, or subterranean places, were decaying or being destroyed by various means, either natural or through vandalism, with the knowledge and history of these places passing only by word of mouth. It was with a sense of urgency, therefore, that he started putting pen to paper in what could only be described as a 'travel diary of underground Shropshire'. As with most other counties, Shropshire has its fair share of 'secret subterranean tunnels', most of these having a basis in the imagination of the storyteller, but some, including such features as the ice houses, cave cottages, rock houses, tunnels, mine ventures, underground temples, grottoes and ornamental caves described within, played a major part in variously providing an underground world of housing, food storage, religious sanctity or entertaining eccentricity in times past.

Alan Steele Nicholson, Former Press Officer - US Senator Jacob Javitz, New York"Brilliant and timely political who-done-it. Having been a press officer for a US Senator for a number of years, I've had a front row seat to the inter workings of Capital Hill. To my mind, Powell has masterfully combined the timeliness of today's political intrigue with a gripping detective story/who-done-it. By bringing the mind-boggling swirling mess that is Washington politics down to the level of one family's pain he held me glued to the page."What I found particularly remarkable was how easily I found myself sympathizing with the 'villain', and how well-crafted and human was Powell's plea that we need to finally bring common sense back to our government and its approaches to critical problems facing the country and the world."A deceptively easy read -- given its thunderous message. Term Limits should be require reading for every new politician heading to Washington." Murder - week after week, month after month, across the country. Pushed beyond his limits, one man takes on the establishment, the gun lobby, and corruption at the highest levels. To break the power of entrenched elites, he leads the nation on a grisly hunt. He's hunting them. And they're hunting him. One side will have to blink. In the meantime, people are dying. Term Limits is a thriller from the front pages of our newspapers. It couldn't be more topical.
