1933---Karen Lubinska, idealistic, dedicated and very-hot-looking American Socialist-Activist/Scientist is framed on charged of murder and treason by an up and coming G-man, Buck White.
1939---Dictators Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler sign a non-Aggression Pact, Eastern Europe gobbled up by both of them, Western Europe and Britain about to collapse the Blitzkrieg. In order to get the goods on both dictators, White makes ‘Commie whore’ Karen an offer she can’t refuse. A quick course in espionage at Camp X, and off to Europe to infiltrate Germany as a guest from Stalin’s army of Scientific Advisors, with selected missions including sneaking out scientists to the England, and if he has anything to say about, the US.
1941---Karen is getting the reputation of being the best ‘War Whore’ in White’s ‘stable’ of spies, and given a special assignment---get into bed, literally, with known sexual pervert Adolf Hitler, and get the goods from him about the time for the rumored invasion of Russia. Adolf coughs up the info, but some unexpected developments. First, she is knocked out by his excessive perversions, waking up in a very protected German hospital. Second, ‘the Housepainter’ gave her the wrong dates, the invasion in well in place by the time she can get the message transmitted, and the date he gave was 5 days earlier than the actual event. Third, there is a life incubating in her womb---Hitler’s baby.
Stranded on the Russian Front as the German Army, the Red Army and Armies of uncertain alliances converge, the price on Karen’s head and the child/’demon seed’ in her womb escalates, her strength diminishes and she becomes increasingly dependent on her ‘protectors’, some assigned by Washington, some by London and some by ‘chance’ encounters with Red Army and Partisan units. The only person who, so it seems, has her interest at heart, is the child, so she thinks…and hopes.
COMMENT: A woman’s book about the horrors of war, and the Soul-opening opportunities it can present. Enough edge and action for male readers as well. Inside stories about the vast, wild and ever-changing Russian Front. More about the people than the details of the times, but then again, the Russian Front was a very isolating place to be. Special appeal, perhaps, for gay/lesbian market in later part of the book given relationship the protagonist has with another woman as a lover, ally, and betrayer. |
