Jansen Estrup is a retired US military combat veteran with a lifelong interest in conflict of all kinds. Born at the end of the Great Depression, he was old enough to be bewildered by the excitement and turmoil of World War II and a kind of imprinting occurred. Among his writing is the memoir, "War Stories for My Grandchildren" and this series of inter-related books, "Starlight On Stone" ... "EAST", "WEST", "SOUTH", "NORTH" are available now. The climax, "CRUX", draws all of the dynamic characters together for antiquity's most famous battle, Kadesh. But history is wrong and the battle was more memorable than actually remembered, legend more than truth. The stars know, of course, but it is the rare bard who can interpret their song. Climb aboard for a thrilling ride down the great rivers and wild seas of yesteryore!
