The island of Halycon has continued in its quiet, isolated way for centuries. The arrival of Cybil, a visitor from the mainland brings the first radio to Halycon. On this the Islanders learn of more disturbing visitors: an expeditioning force from the Mother Country arrive to set up and repel a potential invasion from Santa Cruz, a country with a rival claim. The resulting brutal events change the course of the islands forever.
John Rowe Townsend was born in Leeds in 1922. He is the author of many books for children including The Intruder, The Islanders and Written for Children, an examination of children’s literature.
