Overview

Verrat und Doppelzüngigkeit sind die Regel in diesem Spionage-gegen-Spion-Thriller. 4.4 Sterne auf 765 US Kindle-Bewertungen! SPANNENDE NEUE ÜBERSETZUNG! 5-16-23 Ein toter Mossad-Agent, Nazi-Raketenwissenschaftler, die Muslimbruderschaft, ein korrupter amerikanischer Botschafter und zwei vermisste ägyptische Panzerregimenter - jemand versucht, einen weiteren arabisch-israelischen Krieg zu beginnen. Richard Thomson ist ein ausgebrannter CIA-Agent, den die Agentur in Ägypten abgesetzt hat, weil sie sich keinen schlechteren Ort vorstellen konnten, um ihn zu schicken. Bereits von Langley angenagt und von der Kairoer Polizei eingerichtet, kann sein Tag nicht viel schlimmer werden, bis jemand eine Leiche auf den hinteren Stufen seines Hotels hinterlässt, deren Kopf wie eine reife Melone abgeschnitten ist. Eine Nachricht? Kein Zweifel. Die Leiche gehört Mahmoud Yussuf, einem dicken, kleinen Dieb und Möchtegern-Spion, der mit Fotos einer längst verlassenen RAF-Basis in der ägyptischen Wüste hausieren geht. Während sich die Welt auf russische Raketen in Kuba konzentriert, bemerkt niemand, dass diejenigen, die in der ägyptischen Wüste ausgerollt werden, auf Israel gerichtet sind, niemand außer Thomson. Allein und auf der Flucht glaubt niemand seine Geschichte - nicht die CIA, der US-Botschafter und mit Sicherheit nicht Captain Hassan Saleh, Chef des Mordbüros der Kairoer Polizei, der Thomson wegen Mordes erhängen will. Wie Night of the Generals ist dies ein Krimi, der in einen internationalen Politthriller gehüllt ist. Tick Toc, Tick Toc, alles wird am Donnerstagmittag beginnen, es sei denn, Thompson kann sie stoppen. Dieser Spionagethriller aus dem Kalten Krieg wird Sie in die Zeit zurückversetzen, als John Kennedy im Weißen Haus war, Nikita Chruschtschow den Kreml regierte und Abdel, Gamal Nasser prekär in Kairo saß, bedroht vom radikal-islamistischen Rand der Muslimbruderschaft.

"Kayak Jay, Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars! An Emotional Epic! I seldom finish a book with years running down my cheeks, but I did with this one. It is so well written and true to the human personality that it takes a heavy toll on the reader. I read all the WWII books I can get my hands on, and this is historically accurate and a great story. It is a long book but I will read it again. Joan Shulman, Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars! The Title Says it All! The last book I reviewed by William Brown was ""Aim True My Brothers."" Like that book, I felt"" Winner Lose All"" was similar in style to the Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan series. Glynn Young, Amazon Reviewer: ""5 Stars! An exciting, riveting read that explores courage and treachery, love and fear. Another crackerjack novel of World War II, following last year's Amongst My Enemies. The reader is right there, carried along for one wild, breathtaking ride."" Tanya, Amazon Reviewer: ""5 Stars! If you want a really good story, one that pulls you into the action, then this is the book to read. Winner Lose All is a WWII era drama with a strong list of characters, both the good guys/bad guys, and some you just can't decide where they fall in this tale of intrigues. It's a non-stop adventure."" Peter A. Armenia, Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars! Surprised! This is the first book I have read from this author. I was looking for a quick read, a Clancy like novel with the setting of WW ll and/or the Cold War. It is exceptionally well written."
