Pawns in an Ancient Game: A Max Adler WWII Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736501344)

September 1945 - in the immediate months after the end of World War II, Nazis officers and war criminals fled Germany in the hope of saving themselves and escaping Allied justice.Some of these Nazis secretly made it to the Middle East and Egypt to work for radical Islamic fundamentalists. These radicals intend to create a new Islamic caliphate, prevent the creation of Israel, and throw out the British and French colonialists.One of these Nazi criminals, SS-Colonel Johann von Dietz, controls the process for creating Sarin gas. For his knowledge and expertise, he would be paid well. American OSS Captain Max Adler has been sent to Cairo to do whatever it takes to stop him. The beautiful British MI6 Agent, Sophie Norcross, joins him in this battle.As Max Adler says: "Everything right now focuses on Palestine and Egypt. The British want to hold on to them. The Zionists and the Jews fleeing Europe and Russia want Palestine for themselves. The Arabs and the Zionists want to throw the British out. And the Palestinian Arabs want the Jews out as well. And in Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood, with their intrigues and assassinations, is doing what it can to destabilize an incredibly weak and stupid monarchy. Welcome to the Middle East, it's just one happy party."
