Them and Us
Description
Three months after Joe, Nats, and Cain disappeared in the island's only boat, a mysterious flying machine hovers above the community they left behind. Eva must choose who to trust, and who to put first - her children, or her partner Sandra. Four days ago, Joe left Nats in a barn near Dover and didn't come back. Still nursing an injured ankle, Nats must decide how long to wait, where to go if she doesn't, and whether to trust the neut child who's feeding her. Meanwhile, Joe's parent, Georgy, is on trial for assaulting police officers - pleading not guilty on grounds of protecting their child from a greater harm, determined to open eyes and change attitudes. If it's Them against Us, first you must decide who is Them and who is Us.

Person
Paul Rand grew up in Hampshire, UK but has now lived well over half his life in the North of England ? in Yorkshire and Cumbria. After thirteen years working as an engineer, he completed teacher training and has since been working as a secondary school teacher, teaching a mixture of maths, business, and computing. Paul currently teaches part-time, and when he's not teaching or writing, he's probably doing something for the Methodist church of which his wife is the minister.
Paul and his family like to holiday on small islands, both at home and abroad, preferring islands that are a little off the beaten track. They have enjoyed several holidays on the Isle of Muck, which is the inspiration for the island in Joe with an E.
