Recent release "Chasing the Sun" from Newman Springs Publishing author Patric Sanders is the exciting story of rebellion that follows a young man on his journey to evade detection and peril to leave East Germany once and for all.

​Patric Sanders, who grew up in East Berlin and studied Marine Electronics at Rostock University and immigrated to the U.S. with his future wife, has completed his new book “Chasing the Sun”: the first of a thrilling trilogy, that draws readers into the existence of Wolf Richter.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Patric Sanders’ riveting tale will leave readers breathless as they page through the paranoid steps that Wolf takes in order to evade the secret police Stasi and achieve freedom.

In the mid-sixties in East Germany, Wolf Richter, a young electronics engineer, dreams of a free life in distant America. After serving as a draftee at a secret radar facility of the People’s Army, Wolf finds a challenging job at the Port of Rostock. Because he speaks English, he conducts radar training sessions together with engineers from the West. He is also rebuilding his strained relationship with Inga, his strikingly attractive but headstrong girlfriend.

The Stasi secret police pressures Wolf to work for them, first as an informer and later as a spy. Wolf resists but Stasi Officer Mueller is relentless. Wolf feels that eyes are watching him. Shady characters follow him. One afternoon he’s snatched off the street for a rough interrogation. Who is betraying him? Could it even be Inga? Wolf refuses to cooperate with Mueller, knowing it will destroy his career and he might soon rot in a Stasi jail. The only solution is to flee to the West – but how? The Wall around Berlin and the border to West Germany are fortified and deadly. Yet he must find a way to escape with Inga. They travel to Prague to ask the British and American embassies for help but are rejected. Can Wolf outfox the Stasi and the border guards?

Readers who wish to experience this powerful work can purchase “Chasing the Sun” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
