Cover Reveal

April 14, 2018 By Paul

14th April 2018 – Cover Reveal

Today I have pleasure in revealing the cover of the first in the Jack Jago Thriller Series, The Plastic Paradigm, and here it is:

This Cover Reveal of The Plastic Paradigm has been designed by my very talented cover designer Rachel Lawston. Rachel has been absolutely wonderful to work with on this project and I’m sure that we’ll continue to work in this way for a long time.

Here’s your Sneak Peak with blurb below:

The Plastic Paradigm – If Plastic Waste is the “New Narcotic”, then Jack Jago is the antidote.

A top government research scientist and his assistant go missing.

Ex-marine and military policeman Jack Jago goes undercover, posing as a lone fisherman, where he’s at home on the water and busy gathering samples and intelligence.

One evening a ship in port weighs its anchor, revealing the body of a young seaman. His killers had tied him to a link in the anchor chain, and now they’re after his contacts, but why?

Although Jago is happy to work alone his life moves up a gear, to the level where he is most comfortable – one teeming with action and danger, where he has to outsmart and defeat his criminal adversaries.

The question is: Can Jago prevent further loss of life while bringing the upswell of corruption, death, and plastic pollution to an end?

Do you have any thoughts or comments? If so, please email them to me using info@pstretton-stephens.com.

I’ll be sharing more exciting news about the release of the Plastic Paradigm shortly so check back often or subscribe to my newsletter to ensure that you don’t miss out!

Have a great weekend

Plastic Oceans

I’ve been researching get the effects of plastic in our oceans for an up and coming new Tacrem Adventure title.  My research has taken me from a BBC Natural World documentary featuring the applying plastic debris that is swept up on some of the islands of Hawai i. It also shows quite graphically how the plastic is affecting the Enemies Risingmarine and bird life, especially the Albatrosses over there. Many of the young birds can’t even learn to fly because their stomachs contain plastics. The presenter scoured an area full of dead birds.Their decaying bodies were open to the elements, and the contents of their stomachs were on view. The presenter collected some of these items, and there was everything from golf balls to print cartridges, toothbrushes to cigarette lighters. It was unbelievable. It seems that the adult birds cannot determine floating plastic from fish and that’s what they feed their young. Then there was the sheer amount of plastic being washed up on the beaches which was impossible to comprehend.

I then moved onto the Plastic Ocean Foundation. This body has recently produced a film which I’m now going to obtain and watch as the next part of my research. I’ll let you know what it’s like soon.

By the way, you may find this well-researched article by Wendy Kathryn regarding plastic pollution useful:  Plastic Is Killing our Oceans – The Issues, Facts, and Possible Solutions
