Accidents of Time and Place

A brutal war and political posturing…from a hillside in a war-torn country to Capitol Hill, accidents of time and place conspire to make Hector Collin a hero. Leaving behind the coal mines of his youth, he follows the life of a soldier, in peace and then in war. He rises above the rest, only to plunge into the depths of despair. He is an accidental hero, taking life as it comes, letting events drive him. That nearly costs him everything, including the woman he loves. Once acclaimed by his own generation, he is rejected by the people his honor makes him defend. Redemption, if it comes, lies in his decision to take charge of his life and go on. It is a different kind of heroism, one that must be deliberate, not accidental.Klein, S.
