Review: Five star winner
Rating: 5 out of 5

Winner Lose All is a terrific read.  It is a suspense spy novel set at the end of WWII, but it is also the story of a tortured love affair, an impossible affair between a Communist resistance fighter and an American OSS operative.  But the heart does not listen to reason.  Conflicting ideologies interplay in desperate attempts by each to obtain the secrets of the Nazi super weapons and capture the scientists that designed them.  He who has them will be the global power.This is a riveting, fast-moving story with superb, authentic characterization, believable and understandable.The novel is more than a suspense story, however; it is also historical as it depicts through the characters the philosophy of the Communists, the Allies, and the Nazis.  Only one small part is not believable but that does not detract from the story (I'll let the reader determine what it is).  Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, A Novel Not for Children (about good and evil).
