Part 1 of Impact, the third and final book of the A Relative Invasion trilogy.

Post-war, the fall-out

July 1945. War in Europe is over, but Japan is still holding out. 12-year-old Bill Wilson is torn away from the emotional supports he found in his evacuation billet and must face the dirt and destruction of London.

The thrill of having Uncle Ted back safe from war is dashed by his sad and strange behaviour. He drives Bill home to Wandsworth with Mother and little sister, Jill. Manipulative cousin Kenneth is about to move in with Auntie Doreen. He's furious about her romance with an American. He blames Bill for introducing them, and begins the ultimate stage of his invasion.

Bill struggles to protect what he values, but he cannot keep Ted’s disaster, his own beliefs, his friendships or even his secret icon from Kenneth’s reach. Tensions rise to a climax causing a dreadful event. The fall-out will irrevocably change the lives of both boys and all around them. Can Bill survive and find a way to a worthwhile future for everyone?
