About the Book

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.


About the Author

Geoff Cumbley was born in the city of Worcester, England, at the beginning of the Second World War. Following his education in the city, he was employed in industry for over a decade before joining the Royal Air Force, with which he served for twenty-two years. Overseas tours broadened his outlook on cultures and showed him landscapes as varied as the Persian Gulf and the Falkland Islands. On leaving the service, he spent more than ten years working in security. He has travelled to the Middle and Far East, the United States and Canada, resorts around the Mediterranean Sea, and the United Kingdom. In his spare time, Cumbley has served on various committees, at times holding the position of chairman. His most rewarding experience was a five-year chairmanship of Breathe Easy, a support network of the British Lung Foundation. Now retired, he resides in Worcester with his wife, Patricia. They have two daughters and three grandchildren.
