The Icarus Game: On The Fringes Of Legality

Steve's no holds barred autobiography begins describing the emotional turmoil surrounding Steve's meltdown, written candidly from his point of view. Ending with the prosecution-based stories during the final chapters. He details the courtroom drama and events that happened out of the public gaze. Until now, his side of this story has not been told in any medium.

More importantly the book covers his whole life, from growing up on a North Yorkshire council estate during the 1970's to the present day. Detailing his careers with the Royal Air Force, including his experiences during active service in the first Gulf war. Working as a sales rep and his progression to becoming an airline pilot, Training Captain and Fleet Manager.

He discusses the implosion of his first marriage and some of the difficulties he faced becoming a single father.

Steve's anecdotes cover the unusual situations he's found himself in, some of which are extreme by any standard. Being held hostage at gunpoint in Algeria doesn't happen to everybody. He has tried to inject humour wherever it was to be found. The day to day humdrum has been left out. This is an honest and unapologetic account of his life's' story. It details the dramatic and unforeseen events of the last few years, following his life limiting illness, diagnosis and treatment.
