This is almost all of what survives of a journal Colin Perry kept between March & November 1940, when he was eighteen years old, written in his home in Tooting & in the City of London where he worked. The journal was never intended for publication, it is only the youthful, untrained outpourings of a proud & totally insignificant Londoner. It spans what the Air Ministry was to call '...the Great Days from 8 August
- 31 October 1940' & the fifty-seven nights when the bombing of London was unceasing. This is the period enshrined in our history as the Battle of Britain, the most momentous year for Britain in the twentieth century.

Boy Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice & nobody thinks much about. He shows up in a new high school, in a new town, under a new name, makes few friends & doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die -- of "natural causes." Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, & moves on to the next target. When Boy Nobody was just eleven, he discovered his own parents had died of not-so-natural causes. He soon found himself under the control of The Program, a shadowy government organization that uses brainwashed kids as counter-espionage operatives. But somewhere, deep inside Boy Nobody, is somebody: the boy he once was, the boy who wants normal things (like a real home, his parents back), a boy who wants out. & he just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's next mission. ...
