Based on the historical events of the Berlin Airlift, this post-WW2 novel takes you on a roller-coaster ride of hope, determination, love, and courage. Cabaret singer Bruni uses men strictly for her own benefit - no love involved. Keeping good relations with the decision-makers of all four Occupying Powers gives her a better life than the average Berliner, but this is about to change when the Soviets clamp down on all traffic between Berlin and the Western zones. Victor, a gifted American engineer, has been tasked to do the impossible: to build a new airport for Berlin from scratch. Without much more than starving workers and shovels, can he win the race to feed the population before winter sets in and all construction must come to a halt? When the two of them first meet, it's love at first sight. But while Bruni doesn't do love, Victor is looking for a woman to marry. Will he be able to convince her that he's the right man for her? Readers raved about On the Brink: "There are many things I appreciate about Marion Kummerow's work, and one of them is that she does her research! I have a deep appreciation for the effort she puts into not only crafting a fabulous story but respecting historical details and flavors. I also appreciate that many of her novels are part of a series for addicts like me, but they are written in such a manner that they can also be stand-alone books. On the Brink, the second book in her Berlin Fractured series, is a can't-miss!" - Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "On the Brink, book two of the Berlin Fractured series, is a masterfully written and exciting portrayal that incorporates intrigue, mystery, suspense, and romance during the Berlin Airlift." - Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "On The Brink grabs you right from the start... [it] will be your new favorite book." - Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
