The IRON MAN is the first novel by John Watson, a businessman from Sussex. He began his career as a copywriter in advertising, formed his own company in 1978, and another in 1981.

The Iron Man was first published in 1998 by Warner Books. It tells of a Russian battleship built in the last days of World War II that has never fired a shot in anger. It was, and still is, the fastest and most heavily armed warship the World has ever seen, but apart from it's sea trials, has never left it's home port of Vladivostock. A group of shady businessmen requisition the ship and the services of Yakov Zof, a very experienced, patriotic but disgruntled Navy Captain, with his crew who haven't been paid for years, and begin a life of crime on the high seas. But it isn't just piracy ahead, with nuclear warheads and modern technology against WWII brute force.
