A SEASON NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN by Roland ColtonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A mix of fantasy, baseball, and a whole lot of sporting action!
“A Season Never To Be Forgotten” is Roland Colton’s final installment of the “Baseball Immortal Trilogy.” The synopsis opens with an intriguing premise: ‘Is the man who wakes up in a Georgia hospital, after suffering a near fatal hit-and-run accident, truly the legendary Ty Cobb (who has been inexplicably transported forward in time), or is he a man suffering from severe psychosis and delusions of grandeur, who has hijacked Cobb's identity as his own?’
In summarizing the plot we find Cobb in the hands of the police facing serious time behind bars for assault and battery. While this is going on, Cobb is on the verge of equaling and possibly even surpassing one of the most revered records in all of sports, and his team is still fighting for a position in the playoffs. The revelation of long-lost secrets provides answers to lingering questions about Cobb's history and casts doubt on both his and his team's prospects for the future. Cobb finds himself in the agonizing position of having to decide whether or not he is willing to compromise his honor and integrity in order to save the person who is most important to him. Cobb's psychological warfare continues to stir resentment and hatred from fans, opponents, and even his own teammates. With Cobb on the field, anything can and will happen…
A deliberately paced yet progressively absorbing drama, “A Season Never To Be Forgotten” is an instant baseball classic. Highly recommended.
