All Good Things describes the lives of four young men who played together as small children, seeking adventure in their small town. They made a pact to support each other, "one for all and all for one." The war intervened. One of them is unable to serve and waits to inherit the family business. Three others find more adventure than they bargained for, and their experiences of horror and misery have residual effects. Returning home they find civilian life also has its share of horror and misery along with loves, joys, and sorrows. Their lives are intertwined until one of them escapes to find a different life of adventure in a large city where he befriends another veteran. Still, their pact is honored as the reader is introduced to the history of people and events in the twentieth century.

Terra Incognita is a series of stories placed on an alphabetic framework stitched together loosely by characters re-appearing in them. The stories vary in style and form with a short verse and a short play thrown in for contrast. Issues are examined and while some characters take the initiative, others simply react to circumstances. They struggle through their allotted time, occasionally in flashbacks while subjected to the vicissitudes of life. Connections are made and connections are broken. Relationships develop along with the unspoken underlying notions of learning as an endless journey, and that the journey is as important as the destination. Search for true experience of being through identity and purpose is underlined in the initial story and later reprised with an implication that thoughtful reflection is useful and productive.
