Doug Zipes knocks it out of the park once again

"Doug Zipes knocks it out of the park once again. This well-researched historical fiction of the struggles of an interfaith couple provides a poignant depiction of the unimaginable suffering of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto during the atrocities of the Holocaust and the resilience of the Jewish people. The book’s end drives home the point that remnants of the hate engendered by the Nazis remains with us today in the form of continuing antisemitism I was so moved that I read the book twice !"

Dr Zipes' fiction books are not dull. I have enjoyed them all. Bear's Promise was on my mind whether I was reading it or planning to read it later in the day.. The twists and turns of characters and events were very surprising. It was a compelling tale he told , and I shall be waiting for his next book.

Bear's Promise

{
After reading The Black Widows, the outstanding first book by Doug Zipes, I had to read his second novel. I picked it up one morning thinking I would read a few chapters and get on with my day. To my surprise, I was still reading in the afternoon up to the last word. I agree wholeheartedly with other reviewers who also couldn't put the book down. It's a well-written, fast paced, plot riveting novel with interesting and well-developed characters. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed.

This is an exciting thriller and Zipes' best novel yet. Includes details from WWII and previous Olympic game history that I was not aware of. Interesting and surprising plot with some twists and reversals at the end. Well worth reading...
