It was by pure coincidence that the writing of Times of Destiny was completed at the same time as many countries' ceremonies of remembrance on the one hundredth anniversary of the start of the First World War. Life in and out of the trenches is portrayed in a series of historic events that had distinct effects on the security of the United Kingdom. Three boys reach manhood, and they and their descendants form a military line. Their contributions to the United Kingdom's history begin in the seventeenth century and continues to the present day. The men and women of Times of Destiny become involved in dangerous situations, and love, romance, and adventure find their way into these people's lives.
