(The Epic Novel of the Spanish Civil War)
Wayfarers of Fate
By, John Steinbacher
In 1934, the dark storm clouds of war were already gathering over Europe. People whose lives had been reduced to abject misery by the twin blows of World War I and the Depression sought a better life while those of rank and privilege opposed them. This festering conflict came to a head first in Spain, where a military coup led to the first modern, unconstrained war that was soon to become horribly familiar t the rest of Europe. By the time Spain's fratricidal conflict ended, over one million people had perished.
Against this grim backdrop we watch as Juan and Pedro Avila choose their different paths. Brother is set against brother as the maelstrom of war carries them away.
Juan strives for the Communists, and falls in love with the beautiful Hilda Krantz, a deadly communist agent. When she betrays him he fights on, though wracked with cynicism and despair. When he finally stands over his brother's body on the battlefield, he comes to see the barrenness of his cause and redirects himself towards the light.

"John Steinbacher is able to lift you up to an emotional peak, until you think you can't stand it, and then he brings you smashing back down again. There are those who would kill the body, but they cannot control his spirit, that is called many things, soul, nirvana, and even love. Steinbacher's talent captures that spirit"
-Gary Allan, World Famous Author, Western Islands Press
