They live at Sterne, the home they are in danger of losing due to a financial crisis, with Charlotte's 3 children: Emerald, Clovis and Smudge. On the day of Emerald's birthday party, a terrible train wreck occurs on a branch line and the stranded passengers seek refuge at Sterne. Among these passengers is Charlie Traversham-Beechers, a sketchy figure from Charlotte's past.

This is not a book of answers because nobody on any side of the issue really knows what UFOs are. Instead it is a book of questions starting with... What if UFOs are real? What might this mean for Humankind? Do UFOs represent "nuts and bolts" craft piloted by sentient beings from other civilisations in space? Are they visitors from another planet? Are they human-like or human time travellers or beings from some other realm presently unknown to science? Recognition of this could profoundly alter our understanding of the universe and our outlook on life. The analyses and speculations are intended to encourage thought and discussion. The concepts explored here need to be critically examined and measured against the still unfolding UFO manifestation. Meanwhile we need to know what has been credibly reported, what possible explanations there are, and what it might all mean. Why did the CIA run a security clearance on this author without his knowledge or consent? The contents of UFO reports have become increasingly bizarre: stories of alien creatures abducting humans and subjecting them to physical examinations have multiplied. The beings who sometimes appear more like apparitions than solid entities, display almost magical powers, including levitation, telepathy, movement through solid matter, and cause electrical malfunctions. Even if the abduction reports are imaginary, why would intelligent beings repeatedly hover over installations and then dart away, for no apparent purpose? Why would they buzz human vehicles, take soil samples and all the other repetitive actions year after year without doing something to remove all doubt about their nature and purpose? Why do they continue to dazzle us with exotic displays but not make open contact or whole communicate something definite to us?

On a hot summer day in 1923 a young housemaid stumbles upon the gruesome remnants of a tragic double homicide. As the years pass, several other unexplained deaths take place in the seemingly haunted upstairs bedrooms of the stately beach house known as 'Cliff's End'. Finally abandoned by its owners, Cliff's End sits deserted for more than half a century until an American teacher on a tour of Europe decides to buy the old place. Uninvited Guests tells the story of Kevin Grinelle who, enchanted by the derelict cottage overlooking the craggy, windswept seacoast of southern England and charmed by the eccentric villagers of Porthallow, decides on a whim to purchase the house. A chance meeting with a handsome neighbor leads to a long overdue reexamination of his sexuality at the same time that the increasingly sinister late night disturbances at Cliff's End send the young expatriate on a desperate search for the truth about that terrible night in the summer of 1923.
