Steaming into the Firing Line is a set of short stories based on and around the railways of North West England during the Second World War.
Humorous and moving, the collection tells the tale of a group of railwaymen during the latter days of the memorable age of steam.
Readers will quickly warm to the book’s characters and will be compelled to read of the day-to-day lives of drivers and firemen, their colleagues and their passengers, during this particularly challenging time in British history.
Author Michael Clutterbuck is himself the son of a railwayman from that era. This is clear from the realism and detail evident throughout the book.
