Who Is The Eternal Flame?

Caught in the crossfire of school bullies, exam revision and his parents' messy divorce, fifteen year old Richie Spink thinks life is about as unfair as it gets. But when he suddenly finds himself trading lives with forgotten World War II super-soldier “The Eternal Flame,” he'll quickly realise just how wrong he is. Deep behind enemy lines, can Richie learn how to harness the awesome power of the Flame? Can he save his squad mates from the fearsome Tiger Tank? And will he ever remember to bring in his kit on P.E days?

When a patient at the local nursing home is murdered, Anna Harrison and her jaded History teacher Neil Wells are pulled into the clutches of the nefarious “Order Of The Flame”. Aided by a strange boy from class (who claims to be a time displaced World War II super-soldier), can they stop the Order's seventy year long quest to claim the power of The Eternal Flame for themselves?

In 1941, Major Bill North is summoned from the frontlines, and tasked with creating a top secret army unit. Their mission? To help turn the tide of the war for the Allies. Their secret weapon? A mysterious new recruit codenamed “The Eternal Flame”, a “super soldier” able to harness the collective spirit of the nation. But, with spies in their midst and shadowy forces working against him, can Bill get his young recruits whipped into shape in time?

‘The Eternal Flame: Yester-Boy’ is a witty, fast paced action/adventure story, like Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Captain America: The First Avenger, meets Tom Hank’s “Big”.
