Vienna on Fire: A Thrilling Novel of Survival, Resistance, and Unbreakable Spirit

Will Greta Kolbe escape the iron grip of Nazi-occupied Vienna -- or will new perils await her as she races for freedom and a new life in America on the eve of World War II?

On March 12, 1938, everything changes for 18-year-old Greta Kolbe when German troops storm into Vienna, shattering her peaceful world. With her family and the Jewish community threatened by brutality and unjust laws, Greta's outrage propels her into the heart of the Austrian resistance.

But betrayal lurks close to home. Greta's vengeful ex-boyfriend, Hans Jaeger, has joined Hitler's feared "Brownshirts" and is determined to capture her for her daring fight against the Nazis. Forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Greta risks everything -- smuggling diamonds for the resistance, narrowly escaping the predatory Nazi leader Hermann Goering at his infamous hunting lodge, and delivering her precious cargo under the enemy's nose.

When a violent prison break puts her in the Gestapo's crosshairs, Greta is thrust into a relentless, high-stakes escape across Europe. She must survive German patrols, a harrowing shootout at the Dutch-German border, and fight off a brutal assailant -- all while the ruthless Hans Jaeger pursues her every step. In a heart-stopping race against time, Greta makes her final stand just minutes before her ship to America departs, facing her most dangerous enemy in a climactic showdown.

Vienna on Fire is a pulse-pounding, fast-paced novel that brings to life the indomitable spirit of a young Jewish woman who refuses to surrender. With penetrating research and unforgettable storytelling, Don Gabor -- bestselling author of "How to Start a Conversation and Make Friends" -- crafts a tale inspired by true acts of courage from his own family and others who defied the Third Reich.
