Czechmates by Doug Youra

Nature vs. Nurture?The twin boys’ lives seemed star-crossed from the moment of their births. Losing their parents through untimely deaths, being adopted into separate families, and raised in the United States and Czechoslovakia left them unaware of having an identical sibling.

The American twin is fluent in several languages and translates documents for individuals, businesses, and the government. Little does he realize how his life will be impacted after his unique occupation is featured in a local newspaper.

The Czech twin heads a subversive, underground unit whose goal is to undermine the communist regime in power during the Cold War. His double life is further complicated when he sustains a serious injury.

In this suspenseful tale, readers will be turning the pages to learn the twins’ fateful outcomes. Will they be reunited? Or will a series of tumultuous events result in yet another misfortune?
