WAR THREATENS AT THE VERY SHORES OF HOME . . . With Hitler in Europe and devious cousin, Kenneth, at the doorstep, Billy's world is about to change.

Lonely Billy had longed for a playmate but when his chilly parents introduce his cousin, frail, artistic Kenneth soon makes his life a nightmare. Kenneth sets out to manipulate and torment him, Uncle Frank is an outright bully and Billy's parents only see Kenneth's porcelain looks, not his darker soul.

Were the adults to blame? The origins of a psychological war waged by one boy. The Prequel to the trilogy, A Relative Invasion. 

A fateful rivalry erupts when two small boys meet in 1937 while World War Two threatens, and so begins the trilogy, “This well-executed emotional drama” (Historical Novel Society) explores the fateful relationship between Billy and his talented but devious cousin, Kenneth. The subsequent dramas within the Wilson family mirror the tensions and explosive situation in forties Europe.
But what happened in the family before the boys were born? Did the adults’ previous lives predetermine the dramatic outcome in Book Three - Impact? Either read the Prequel as a taster of what is to come, or - better - read it after the trilogy to judge the origins of retribution for yourself.

In this Prequel, the older generation give accounts of their pre-war life, each in their own words.

"This is Kenneth!" Who would predict a life-changing drama ten years after young Billy first meets his cousin?

As world war looms on the horizon, lonely Billy Wilson is delighted to learn his cousin is coming to live nearby. But frail, talented Kenneth proves to be a nightmare. Older, but smaller, devious Kenneth envies Billy's superior strength and home comforts. He manipulates and bests Billy at every turn. The four parents see only Kenneth's porcelain looks and perfect manners, oblivious to his psychological bullying.

Kenneth's desire for power and territory mirrors in micro the tensions in Europe

Billy's only protection is his secret symbol of power, a Cossack sabre. This has its own history on the Polish/German border at the start of WW1. During evacuation and wartime miseries, this icon inspires and sustains Billy as Kenneth increasingly invades every aspect of his life. Even after VE-Day, Billy cannot escape Kenneth's manipulations, especially as they are now living in the same house, developing very different talents and suffering London's post-war austerity. Soon adolescent tensions explode. The outcomes are dramatic, unpredictable and long-lasting.
