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.
