Product Information

As Scott and I worked our way through our text, we found ourselves coming upon stories from the past that were not only fascinating, but true.

His most recent books are Ships Visual Encyclopedia, The Essential Naval Identification Guide: Submarines 1914–Present, Great Warships and The World’s Greatest Battleships.

It’s a fantastic adventure that takes the reader from Song Dynasty in China to the palace of Byzantium to Viking raids in England, in which three teens battle an ancient power seeking revenge by exerting its force in the modern world. Firstly, Ross manages to grab your attention straight away, as his main character, teenager Bobby Cassidy. As she does so, we get to see famous and infamous events in the country’s history from an individual’s perspective; her experiences highlighting the human cost behind the headlines.

From the dawn of civilization man has held a fascination with the sea, and over the centuries has built myriad ships and sailing craft for an equally diverse range of purposes.m) which transforms into a flexible conference, exhibition and event arena capable of hosting 3000 delegates. It's great to read a fresh voice, this being Ross's first novel, and I sincerely hope that more are on the way.
