In Randall and the River of Time we’re taken along on a young man’s journey from a naïve child to a mature, experienced adult. Although just a teenager during WWI, Charles Randall learns quickly how to stay alive during battle. During his first leave he meets two people who forever change his life. The wife of another military man intrigues and fascinates him. Sadly, a telegram announcing the death of her husband arrives, and he is drawn further into her web. However, he is also fortunate enough to impress a highly influential man with his knowledge and scientific evaluations of flares used for the war effort. His inventiveness results in a welcome, but unexpected chain of events including financial benefits as well as special treatment. As this relationship builds him up, so the other one tears him down. Randall’s impromptu marriage takes him down a lonely, desperate path full of deception and adultery as he finds himself in prison for manslaughter.
