At the moment of their deaths, famous people from history are snatched by a watchful and benevolent species. They are given the responsibility to covertly protect Earth, throughout time, from any peril.

Eventually, they find themselves involved in an intergalactic war threatening Earth from a ruthless invader. These historical figures must enlist the help and trust of current-day political leaders and modern militaries to face this evil conqueror, without panicking the planet’s population. They must overcome obstacles of confusion, fear, mistrust, and personal power struggles. All of this is continually complicated with underlying layers of espionage, murder, romance, and threats of global terror.

Steve H McLellan was born in southern Ontario, Canada, where he grew up like any other kid. He played all the local youth sports, but his talent never matched his enthusiasm. He gravitated to the library, where he realized his passion for reading. After attending the University of Waterloo, he entered the job market, where he spent ten years as an Insurance Underwriter before joining the City of Mississauga. Steve retired in June 2016 after a 30-year career as a Senior Transit Manager. Two weeks after retirement, he suffered a heart attack. While recovering, Steve promised himself, his wife and his two daughters that he would pursue his lifelong desire to write. Two months later, he committed to his promise by enrolling at York University, Toronto. In June 2024, he received his B.A., History, including extensive undergraduate studies in Writing. Steve lives with his wife and Standard Schnauzer in the beautiful Niagara Region where he is continually inspired to make unbelievable stories believable.

McLellan's book is a combination of suspense, adventure with some science fiction that hooks you from the beginning through to the end. The characters are well developed that keep the reader intrigued and relatable. Historic research is evident in the development of characters and plot. In Spirits Shadow has current underlying interests that include of a female president and alien life forms that exist and pose a threat to earth. Lots of adventure, espionage and crucial time constraints will keep the reader entertained, a real page turner!
