The Self- Improver: A Pilot’s Journey NOW AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIOBOOK

Now available as an audiobook

Author Nick Eades was going nowhere fast when it struck him that after all, he should try to follow in his family’s footsteps and become a pilot. The only problem was that he had no money and had failed his medical tests. Maybe he should go back to selling second-hand cars, or maybe not!

Still Improving: Becoming the World’s Most Experienced 747 Captain. NOW AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIOBOOK

The follow-up from The Self-Improver: Nick somehow secures a job flying the iconic Boeing 747.  Would the World’s Favourite Airline welcome a self-taught, self-funded pilot with no heavy jet experience? Join Nick as he starts a new and exciting new chapter in a record-breaking career.

Amazon Reviews

A great sequel to Mr Eades first book, exceptional writing style, sometimes quirky, always factual. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys travel books written by those who got you there safely.

Rarely does a sequel leap off the pages at me as this one did….yet again its as eloquent a portrayal of the life of a professional airline pilot as you will ever read…..whether you are an aviation nut or not you will struggle to put this book down…, sadness, pride, euphoria, family dramas, and so much more besides…..highly recommended

Overtaken by a Butterfly: 40 Years of Running into Trouble

NOW AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIOBOOK

Covid had grounded both Nick and the Boeing 747. Both appeared to be obsolete. Despite this Nick tried to prove to himself that he could still run as fast as he ever could. And then he was ‘Overtaken by a Butterfly’

Follow Nick once again as he once again refuses to take “No” for an answer and sets off to run where no sane runner would venture.

Amazon Review

Couldn’t put it down but didn’t want it to end. Nick has a wonderful way with words and has a talent to keep the reader enlightened and entertained from page one. More, more, more!!
