Description

Rare Encounter is a work of historical fiction. The novel is woven around an Ivy League professor (Columbia University, Union Theological Seminary) and a rough-hewn Southern rifle champion from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma. Together they fought in the Second World War's deadliest Allied campaign. Roger Lincoln Shinn, now an esteemed professor of social ethics and one of the nation's leading religious scholars, had faced the unspeakable as a young combat infantryman. Two decades after World War II at the onset of the Vietnam War, Shinn reveals for the first time his harrowing story as a captive in Nazi prisoner-of-war camps-and the saga of his colleague, John William Hall. En route to war on the Queen Mary, the grand ocean liner converted into a troopship, the outwardly conventional Shinn, just out of divinity school, meets Hall, a hard-bitten officer with a renegade's temperament. An unlikely friendship develops and their destinies ultimately intertwine at the ominous Battle of the Bulge where Shinn witnesses Hall reject common notions of warfare. For Hall, Shinn's counsel, a remarkable nurse who puts herself in harm's way, and the warnings of a prescient lieutenant weigh heavily on his decisions of life and death. Rare Encounter will grip readers intrigued by vivid human stories formed from inside monumental events.
