Haysville, NC, February 28, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Derek A. Coulson, an amateur historian who spent most of his career in aircraft avionics and training simulations dealing around the globe with foreign governments, has completed his new book, “Billy Hawes”: a gripping novel that follows one man’s search across three continents for three of his former army comrades in the pursuit of justice.
“‘Billy Hawes’ is a fascinating story of one man’s adventures in pursuit of justice and revenge,” writes Coulson. “It covers the twenty-year period prior to the end of the First World War at a time when the British Empire was at its zenith. Billy Hawes is a young country lad that falls in love with a wayward girl only to be snatched away by the British Army to fight the Boers in South Africa. There he meets a Boer widow who suffers badly at the hands of three of Billy’s comrades. From then on it is a wild chase across the continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe in pursuit of justice for the crimes these three have committed.”
