Book
1: "Fast Track"
"There
was no warning, just a loud metallic bang. The engine stopped dead
and everything instantly went white, as if I was in a plane that had
suddenly flown straight into a cloud. The cockpit of the car filled
with thick, white smoke, stinging my eyes and nose. I couldn't even
see the steering wheel, much less the road ahead. Blind and powerless,
I was moving at well over 100 miles per hour as I felt the rear end
of the Mustang start to spin around."
"Fast Track"
is the first book in the RedLine series, and introduces Eddie Stewart
and his team as they cross the country facing fierce competition in
the TransAm and Formula Atlantic Series. They quickly discover that
in the world of pro racing there are many ways to the victory podium.
For some of their rivals, winning is everything and they play by their
own set of rules.

Book
2: "Full Throttle"
"Raul
DaSilva took the bait for my low inside move and, as I expected, slid
his car left to block me going into turn one. At that moment I immediately
went for the high outside groove looking for the narrow gap between
his car on my left and the concrete wall rushing past on my right.
It almost worked. I forgot that while Raul was fast, he was no sportsman.
The instant he realized that I wasn't really coming in low, he moved
up into the high groove to close the gap. He knew I was there. He
also knew that I would have to choose between locking wheels with
him or being crushed against the wall."
"Full Throttle" puts Eddie Stewart and his crew up against
million-dollar racing teams. With a rebuilt car and a volunteer crew,
Eddie takes the green flag in the North American Formula Atlantic
Series with one chance to prove that he can compete at the professional
level. Sixty laps on the oval at Milwaukee will decide if he belongs,
and if he can keep his team together.

3: "On The Limit" (Canadian
Children's Book Centre Our Choice Selection, 2007)
"There
was no time to think about what to do, only to react. I braked hard,
eased the Swift right, flicked left to avoid a piece of wing, right
again to miss the spinning black car, and then found myself through
the corner and accelerating hard up to turn four..."
In "On the
Limit", Eddie and the team are quickly becoming a force in the
North American Formula Atlantic series. With a big corporate sponsor
on board and a new aero package, they're full of confidence as they
head into the Toronto street race. Eddie's bullet fast, his team is
strong, and his championship rival, Raul DaSilva knows it. What happens
on race day forces Eddie to test the limits of his talent and abilities.

Book
4: "Title Run"
"Three
closed wheel cars might have had enough room to make it through turn
3 side-by-side with some fender rubbing, but not three open wheeled
formula cars. At close quarters in an open wheel car, the worst case
accident happens if you get your wheels interlocked with another car.
That critical mistake guarantees that someone is going to get airborne.
And Tanaka made it at 150 MPH."
"Title
Run" has Eddie Stewart and his team near the top of points standings
after strong podium finishes and a stunning win in the rain at Toronto.
A victory in the final race of the season in Miami can give Eddie
the title. But it won't be that simple. Eddie is offered a new contract
and a ton of cash for next season on one condition. He needs to throw
this race, allowing his arch rival Raul DaSilva through to win the
championship. Eddie finds that every man has his price. And what it
will cost him if he agrees to his.

Book
5: "G Force"
"Over
the next eight laps I worked that down to a 1:24.8, and there was
still some more to come. The EuroTech engine delivered a relentless
wave of 800 horsepower, and I was finding a smooth, fast rhythm. I
focused hard on carrying a lot of speed onto Hangar Straight and then
holding onto it for as long as possible before braking for the sharp
right-hand corner at Stowe. The car turned in smoothly at first, and
then I felt the steering wheel jerk and recoil as the left front tire
exploded. With an instant loss of grip, the car skated across the
corner and speared itself hard into the barrier. All I remembered
after that was the strange, sudden quiet and the searing pain rising
up through my left leg."
Rising star Eddie
Stewart and his team are ready to qualify for the single greatest
spectacle in racing, the Indianapolis 500. With an innovative new
car, an international sponsor, and the support of a talented team,
Eddie seems to have everything he needs for success. Almost. Eddie
discovers that he will have to deal with much more than the risks
of wheel-to-wheel racing at over 200 miles per hour. A mysterious
series of events threatens to end Eddie's dream before it even begins.
Surviving a series of terrifying testing accidents and dealing with
deadly sabotage, Eddie and the guys find that getting on to the grid
at Indy is much more difficult than building a fast car.
