It's the year 2091. Sixteen-year-old Ryan Chase lives in the Pacific Northwest with his scientist parents, Drs. Ryan and Elise, and little sister, Faith Ann. Four years prior, an asteroid smashed into the planet causing untold death and destruction before a protective force field--designed by Ryan's father--could be deployed. In the aftermath, oppressive government authorities reassign the Chase family to the Perhentian Archipelago, located far away in Southeast Asia, where Ryan's marine biologist mother continues to monitor the effects of radiation on the ocean. While on a dangerous solo deep dive, Ryan is "liquefied"--literally sucked through time by the Order of Saint Michael, guardians of the Perhentian Archipelago, who are desperately seeking Dr. Chase or his force-field research in order to prevent a new (or is it the same?) asteroid cataclysm. Unsure if he is in the past or the future, the injured Ryan awakens from his ordeal and converses with a caretaker at the monks' sanctuary who turns out to be so much more. After secretly overhearing some of the monks' plans, the frightened and confused teen decides to escape with the help of Martin the cook, a simple and trusting soul, and flee into the woods. There, Ryan stumbles upon a group of teenage bullies known as "Lo-Tekkers"--sons of those who enforce a strict low technology code on this tropical island. The Lo-Tekkers are just beginning to torture some local boys for violating the code when a mysterious Asian girl frees them with her "illegal" Hi-Tek bow and arrows. Suddenly, a young French woman dressed in medieval warrior garb appears and assists the archer in routing the bullies. Thus begins Ryan's training as a knight and the adventure that will require courage and grace, as well as the strength of angels and Saints, because demonic powers are on the rise and a massive asteroid looms over the horizon.

Coal mining in Cannock Chase was recognised as a vital industry by the middle of the nineteenth century and dominated the area for the next 150 years. In 1913 annual output of coal from local mines was 5.76 million tons, from a labour force of 20,400 men. However, with the closure of the collieries by the mid-1990s this proud history in in danger of being forgotten. This volume of nearly 300 photographs offers a pictorial history of the mining community of Cannock Chase - at work and at play, at school and at prayer, at moments of celebration and of tragedy.These photographs have been collected from miners and their families, and great emphasis has been placed on naming the people and places depicted - maybe you will recognise a member of your extended family, or the pit in which they worked. This book records an important piece of history and will be a nostalgic journey for many people.

A must-have for enthusiasts and locals to the closed railways alike, this is one man’s journey, with 140 contemporary images to capture the railway as it was then, fully aware that things were about to change for good (but not necessarily for the better). From closing branch lines to final steam workings, here is the last snapshot of the golden age of steam. It is a personal and informed account that all people with any interest in the Southern Region or steam in general will no doubt relate to.
