The Day They Came is the gripping story of teenager and young adult Gerard's adventures in the South of France and the African Congo. While at scout-camp aged twelve, Gerard meets and forms an unbreakable bond with the alien Eudoxus, who becomes his mentor and guardian angel. Conscripted for military service at the age of nineteen, Gerard later experiences life-threatening danger when participating in a rescue mission in the African Congo. Apart from his own adventures, Gerard also recounts the fisherman Etienne's story about a terrifying and extraordinary storm he experienced in a trawler off Le Grau du Roi in the French Camargue, when six men lost their lives. The story ends when Gerard is twenty-one. Like the writer, whose name he shares, he joins the hospitality industry to see the world. Throughout the narrative and as he grows up and matures, Gerard struggles to remain true to himself, and to find the correct path in life
