An international pandemic has wiped out most of the worlds population. The Isle of Man must stand alone to protect what is left of civilization for the human race to continue. Peter Quinnel is a farmer with a strong sense of duty; he is also the leader of the Army Reservists. Dr Vin Singh is an experienced pathologist, and he can be abrasive and impatient. Can these two different characters overcome the recklessness and antagonism of others, to save the Isle of Man?Philip Kellys first novel is an exciting what if for the twenty-first century and is particularly relevant given the current situation that we all find ourselves in.

This book is inspired by Ballure Chapel in Ramsey and its 'graveyard for strangers'. Many of the people buried there were not Manx-born but came to the island from all over the world. The authors have researched the lives of 40 of these 'strangers', drawing inspiration from the few headstones that remain and intriguingly brief burial records. Using real events in the strangers' lives the authors have brought each person vividly to life.Their stories span four centuries from a woman born in 1739 who gave birth to 16 children to an alluring Havana socialite who died in 2015. With intriguing illustrations by Jo Davies, the book will appeal to lovers of literary tales, social history and thoughtful imagery and it combines a blend of fact and fiction.

So, on the whole, life was pretty darn good and especially so, now that wedding bells could also be heard chiming in the distance. It seemed nothing could dampen their sprits Until, that is, an old cretinous, cravat-wearing acquaintance appears with an offer they simply cannot refuse, so to speak. Well, they could refuse the offer, of course. But doing so could mean losing all theyd worked so very hard to achieve and leaving them at real risk of having everything come crashing down around their ears.There were certainly strong headwinds facing them, but Team Frank & Stan would never abandon ship and go down without a fight! And, besides, theyd always have Stella on deck, manning the canons!**SIGNED COPIES AVAILABLE WHILST STOCKS LAST****

The Gang is back for another crazy adventure.The idea of the maverick racer, Dave Quirk, winning a TT was as probable as a seaside donkey winning the Grand National....but he'd been trying to do exactly that.An unlikely victory would also secure the TT Farm for Frank and Stans charity, but it was a crumbling, financial black hole and filled with asbestos. Dave and Monty quitting their jobs to work there wasnt fantastic timing, either. The charity needed a truckload of cash, and fast.They had to go big on their fundraising ideas, so, the Isle of Man home of the famous TT Races would play host to a twenty-four-hour racing extravaganza and theyd need a high-profile celebrity for maximum exposure. The object of Stellas darkest desire, Guy Martin, was willing and eager to offer his services for the inaugural Isle Le Mans TT.They were full of good intentions, but, as usual, the path was rarely smooth for Team Frank and Stan.***SIGNED COPIES AVAILABLE WHILST STOCKS LAST****
