We go about life everyday doing mostly what is planned or expected. Then out of nowhere something good or bad happens that changes one's life in some way, but without being consciously aware of it . . . That is "Mere Chance."And that is exactly what happens to the brilliant, handsome Bryan Ashford in his passionate, relentless drive to succeed . . . starting with his discharge from the U.S. Army Air Corps and release from his role with the top secret Manhattan Project in 1946.
"Mere Chance" unfolds with a brutal brush with one of the Mafia families headed by the ruthless, deadly Angelo Martino. This episode in Bryan Ashford's life sets the stage for a subtle but relentless plan by Angelo Martino against the unsuspecting Bryan, who builds his electronics business into a world corporate power.
Intermixed with Bryan's quest for corporate success and the behind the scenes manipulation of Martino is Bryan's recall into government service for national security reasons, giving birth to political intrigue that involves the highest levels. It also adds another element to Martino's cat and mouse game with Bryan's life until 1957 when the game takes a different turn.
Other interesting and supporting characters add to the action that grabs the reader from the start, never letting go!
