Combining the best of World War II historical fiction, action adventure, and romance, this fast-paced spy thriller will resonate.
As WW II grinds to an halt in the rubble of Nazi Germany, all eyes turn to the next ‘cold’ one. The Americans, the Russians, and the British know the future belongs to whomever can grab Hitler’s ‘Wonder Weapon’ technology, because his new rockets, jet fighters, and submarines will shape the balance of world power for decades to come.
Old enemies become tomorrow’s allies, old friends can’t be trusted, and lies and double-dealing are now the norm in this spy vs spy thriller.
Caught in the cross-fire is the torrid but impossible love affair between Ed Scanlon, a brilliant American OSS agent and Hanni Steiner, the gritty, street-smart leader of the communist resistance cell in Leipzig, who find themselves in a tug of war over the plans for Germany’s revolutionary Me-262 jet fighter that is now sweeping the skies of American B-17s.
To succeed, they must outwit each other while staying one-step ahead of Otto Dietrich, the sadistic Gestapo Chief of Leipzig, who has his own plans for the jet fighter plans. So does Scanlon’s perfidious British handlers and Hanni’s KGB masters in Moscow.
Driven by the uncompromising dictates of Josef Stalin, Lavrenti Beria, Allen Dulles, Heinrich Himmler, and Winston Churchill, Ed and Hanni must succeed or die, and the winner will indeed lose 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.“Winner Lose All” is also an action-packed thriller, involving the main character, Ed Scanlon, a Captain in the OSS, the United States Spy Agency during World War Two. He was sent by Colonel George Bromley along with British army Captain William Kenyon to Nazi Germany to work with a Russian Communist Blok sabotaging the Germans in as many ways as possible. He assisted them in doing this.
Hanni Steiner, a Jewish German woman, was the leader of this Blok, and was as cool and cunning as Ed Scanlon. She and he became lovers during this period of the story.
In one of the sabotage events, Ed was captured and seriously tortured by the Nazis. Otto Deitrich was the commander of this, and Ed hated and distrusted him along with British military leaders. Hanni, and the other members of the Blok rescued him. Captain William Kenyon was killed in this event. Ed was sent back to Britain, but unhappy because Hanni would not go back with him. He feared that she would be killed by the Gestapo.
Two months after returning to Britain, nearing the end of the war in Germany, Colonel George Bromley convinced Ed that he would be able to bring Hanni back if he completed another mission, that of finding and bringing back Goering’s engineers and scientists and their plans for the German Jet airplane. Scanlon did not trust Bromley, but was determined to bring Hanni back, if she was alive. So he reluctantly accepted the offer.
Meanwhile, Bromley was encouraged by Prime Minister Churchill to not go through with the endeavor, while Allen Dulles (Commander of the OSS and later head of the CIA) convinced Scanlon that this mission must be completed. Ed was intent on bringing Hanni back, and would try anything to accomplish this.
What Scanlon did not know was that Hanni, whose father was being held by the Russians, was assigned the mission to obtain the scientist and the plans for the Jet.
The remainder of the story is a non-stop rush to accomplish the missions.
The book held me captive from beginning to end. At this time (2017) political events involving Russia are prominent in the news. World War II has been over for more than 50 years, but the concepts brought out in “Winner Lose All” regarding Russia still ring true.
During much of the story I learned a great deal about World War II that I hadn’t learned as a 10 year old child. At that time I knew nothing about the cities of Germany, about the Russian involvement in the war, about Britain, and about spies and sabotage in that war.
I found the mention of Classical music and opera was interesting (I won’t tell you how it became a part of the story, though!).
I would like to thank William Brown for asking me to review this, in return for a Kindle copy of the book. Mr. Brown has become my new Tom Clancy, and I hope there are many more books about Ed Scanlon

Winner Lose All Ed Scanlon Cold War Spy Thrillers Book 1 edition by William F Brown Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The story could not be possible or am I wrong?
It is fiction, but it could have happened.
The end of WW2 was a reckless time of ending tyranny breaking and sending out a new power struggle of determined enemies. Two intolerable ideologies led by leaders hell-bent on survival and destruction of the other now clashing in conflict could have created the characters that the author created to tease our imagination.
Bravo Mr. Brown.
Five stars,.

Reader
Historical novel set at the end of WW II between the key Allies over the German scientists behind the German jet planes. The Russians want them and send a female agent to get them. The Americans and the British pretend to cooperate to get the scientists, but Churchill does not want the Americans to be successful. The Western Allies send an
American spy, but he and the Russian spy are in love with each other. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot with strong characters, including a Gestapo officer with an eye for films, fine cars and fine clothes, a Luftwaffe officer and a young female math genius.
As one would expect, there is a lot of violence. The sex between the two spies is pretty explicit.
Only Brown can write stories that constantly entertain us with homicidal cats used as weapons and German waifs nurturing geraniums.
As with all of Mr. Brown's books it can be related to fishing. It set the hook very early on and spends the rest of the time reeling you in while playing with you as you fight to determine where it is going and if you can get there before he does. Even if you are a avid reader, don't bet on your self to get to the end first because he does not always follow the typical deception rules of many less accomplished authors. He leads you down the path and points out the way then draws you down a different path like many authors do, but the real path does not even show up until near the very end. Oh you may pass by it many times without recognizing it, but it does not become visible to you until the end. Even though you may have seen it, you don't pay any attention you are taken by the hand and walked down the correct road. Good job Mr. Brown! I loved it.
This is a good book however, for some reason he has decided to go with the reality crowd. Unfortunately I do not read for reality. I like it when the good guys win and the bad guys lose. Happy endings may not be true but I do not care. I like 'em. This ends sadly. It is sort of the Stephen King vice Dean Koontz thing. King kills everyone and tells you to suck it up. Koontz lets his characters live and succeed. Good should triumph over evil completely not partially. Hence my four stars.
He was to be eliminated by his own country but the plan backfired. He had been sent to a foreign country to secure blueprints and scientists involved in producing an aircraft second to none. Due to the firepower and speed it became increasingly important to complete the mission. Edward was not aware that the Prime Minister vetoed the plan and suggested to a British air force colonel that the plan and Edward were to eliminated. During the course of his search, a young woman attracted his attention. At first she did not seem to acknowledge him, but time has a way to completely changing our thoughts. They became lovers----but you need to read the incredible journey to fully understand a most breathtaking story.
