A. J. S
AJS is one of the best-known names in British motorcycle history. Founded in 1910 by the Stevens brothers, in Wolverhampton, the company produced well-built touring and sporting machines for the next twenty years. In 1931 the financial problems that had dogged the company came to a head and AJS was wound up. Its savior was Matchless, who moved production to Plumstead, London, but retained the AJS name as an important part of the scene. Over the years the AJS and Matchless ranges had more and more in common, and by the post-war period the bikes were virtually identical, but the AJS name graced some of the best-loved bikes including the stunning 7R racer. The complete story of the AJS and its motorcycles is told here from the early days in the Midlands to the end, as part of the AMC combine.
The AJS 7R
This second volume in the Mick Walker Racing Motorcycles series covers a variety of AJS 7R machines. Chapters discuss the Wolverhampton wonders, Plumstead, Porcupine, 3-valvet, record breaking, the engineers behind the bike, and more.

The Spirit Engineer
Belfast, 1914. Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, high society has become obsessed with spiritualism. In their collective grief they are attempting to reach their departed through séances. William Jackson Crawford is a man of science and a sceptic, but one night with everyone sitting around the circle, voices come to him seemingly from beyond the veil, placing doubt in his heart and a seed of obsession in his mind. Could the spirits truly be communicating with him or is this one of Kathleen's parlour tricks gone too far? Based on the true story of William Jackson Crawford and famed medium Kathleen Goligher, and with a cast of characters that includes Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini, West conjures a haunting tale that will keep you guessing until the end.
