Lazlo’s Revenge is a remarkable story, inspired by true events in places devastated by war, with characters channeling the victims who suffered greatly. Readers will develop personal relationships with the characters, who will leave them wanting to know more about them. Maxine “Max” Fischer is a writer and Swiss war correspondent whose parents lived through the tragedies of the Great World Wars. In this tale of one woman’s quest for knowledge and understanding, she sets out to see the very places where her parents survived on their odyssey to escape danger and death.

Lazlo’s Revenge is the story of what Max unearths in her travels and research back to the time of two of the most shattering wars in history. She is the daughter of Hank and Roberta Fischer, the main characters from Honor and Innocence: Against the Tides of War. Hank and Roberta were the unlikeliest of couples. Hank was an American soldier stationed in Germany after the war, while Roberta, was the daughter of a Nazi SS Officer who was sought after by American and British security forces for his war crimes. Max’s story begins with her birth at the end of the previous novel, and continues in Lazlo’s Revenge, as she endeavors to write her parents’ story of love and survival through wartime.

During her journey through her parents’ pasts, Max becomes fascinated by the people who influenced their lives. She follows the life and times of Lazlo Floznik, the man who saved her parents’ lives, and helped them escape catastrophe in Europe by seeking out refuge beyond the reach of the security forces that sought to imprison them. The years leading up to World War I, the time between the wars, and the experiences of World War II reveal their secrets as Max explores her family roots, in this deeply emotional story tied together by Lazlo’s intense story of love, and that of his father, Miklos, before him.
