(STERLING, Va.) He had dinner in England with Prince Philip, was welcomed to Saudi Arabia by Prince Turki and received a pardon from Australian Prime Minister, John Howard. He climbed up volcanoes in Easter Island and saw the Taj Mahal and Giza Pyramids. Author and photographer Sam Stewart shares these fascinating stories along with many others in his new book, The Adventure Continues (Peanut Butter Publishing, February 2002, ISBN: 0-89716-876-3), the first ever compilation of the London to Sydney Great Air Race.

The Adventure Continues is a coffee-table book that recounts the 56-day journey of The Campbell Air Race Team as they span the globe in a race against time and an adventure that has become an historical event. Sam Stewart records the journey of the team, named after father and son piloting team, Lyle and Scott Campbell, throughout The Adventure Continues in a collection of daily journal entries and photographs making up the only pictorial of the race to date.

The London to Sydney Centenary Air Race 2001 is a journey across 12,000 miles with more than three dozen teams participating in two categories: speed racers and precision flying. The race itself began in Kent, England with Sydney, Australia as their final destination and more than two dozen stops along the way. The team then went on to circle the globe before making their way home.

As guests, Stewart and Campbell can discuss:

• The history of the Great Air Races (1919, 1934, 1969, 2001)
  
  
• The exotic travel destinations the team visited
  
  
• The differences they experienced between cultures
  
  
• Both comical and frightening stories from the team's travels
  
  
• Stewart's journal entries and photographs as documentation of the race

"The Adventure Continues will thrill you and fill you with inspiration, amusement and amazement beyond your wildest dreams," says Walter P. Kallestad, fellow passenger of Miss Nancy. "This treasure will encourage everyone who wonders if great 'God-sized' dreams really do come true. This heart-stopper and heart-warmer is a must read!"

Stewart currently resides in Sterling, Virginia where he is a photo editor with America Online at their International Headquarters.

Campbell, who learned to fly on a farm strip as a young man, lives in Arizona and is currently Chairman of Founder's Bank of Illinois and affiliates.
