Deep among the rolling hills of Durham County, George initially finds the obscurity he seeks with a loving, eccentric and dysfunctional family. But all is not quite as simple and idyllic as it appears: Fifteen-year-old Melissa is showing a little too much interest in George, his friend Karen has an unusual proposition and, as if that wasn't enough, a patch of white grass marring the well-kept croquet lawn leads to the discovery of a deadly virus and throws their whole world into chaos. Faced with a crisis of apocalyptic proportions, it will take all of George's quick thinking and problem-solving to keep their little community together, safe and fed. Written in a unique style, Turf Wars tells a world-changing story from the perspective of believable characters, none of whom are stereotype heroes. With all the problems they face and their prejudices, will they manage to come together to form a new community with a single aim - to survive? Topics explored: -Coming of age -Age-gap relationships -Autism & social anxiety -Generational prejudice -Modern British politics -Environment, ecology & gardening -Survival via community and trading -Crime and punishment.Editorial Review: "Turf Wars is quite elaborate, it creates a certain flow, it's a very fine story. It should be picked up by a professional publisher."Nick Coffer - BBC Three Counties Radio. I hope you enjoy this, my first novel. Please remember to leave me an honest review, even bad reviews are valuable to new authors! Thank you, Richard T Weston
