What appears to be a tale of progressive development and reversal of a life path in the portrayal of a single individual is, in reality, a quest for answers and a declaration of opinion concerning the questions we ponder. In describing the 78 years of his own chronological development, Dr. Clyde v. Collard has painted a vivid picture of the human condition and the forces explicit in shaping the biological and social existence of each of us. In the generic sense, that which applies to one human applies to all humans. John Donne expressed that sentiment when he wrote, And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. The author here states, Look, then into the glass, perceive yourself And now . . . choose.

Acerca del autor (2009)

Clyde V. Collard experienced a wide variety of industrial and scientifi c occupations in his youth. After receiving his doctoral degree in sociology from Louisiana State University, he spent the next thirty years as a college professor. As an academician, Dr. Collard wrote and published in his chosen fi eld for many years before turning his literary skills to the realm of fi ction. In this electrifying tale the author uses his knowledge of human behavior to examine the personal feelings and social interactions of the people caught in a kaleidoscopic swirl of duty, love, challenge, fear, and horror.
