Two years before the end of WWII, two gifted German Jewish musicians--one a Holocaust survivor who barely escaped the infamous Theresienstadt concentration camp with his life, the other the daughter of a prominent Wehrmacht general--having fled the catastrophic Nazi conquest of Western Europe, where they had been hunted and hopelessly separated, reunite in Brazil. Dieter Meister, barroom piano man extraordinaire, and scintillating chanteuse Sofie von Siegler, the subjects of Robert Arthur Neff's first historical novel, Über Alles, seize a second chance at freedom and a life together.
But residual shadows from the war's conflict soon darken the skies of their bright new world. Determined parties, from a fledgling American intelligence agency to Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, relentlessly sniff out the trail of Sofie's father, hiding out in South America. As the net draws tight around Sofie and Dieter, it's impossible to tell who can be trusted. And the United States, after having assembled a military force unparalleled in history and executed a remarkable strategy for victory, turns out not to be so well prepared for the war's aftermath.

"Romance, Revenge, and Rio create the perfect storm that will have you on the edge of your seat as you find yourself traveling back to an era and an exotic place so full of danger and intrigue, you won't want After All to ever end." John Livesay, TEDx speaker and author of Better Selling Through Storytelling
"Educational yet riveting. Solid historical fiction with evident research and assimilation and a pleasant writing style make this an exceptionally good read. Weaving true history into a fictional tale of suspense, drama, intrigue, displacement, and other difficulties takes a special gift, which this author has." Jan Tangen, NetGalley 5-Star review
"After All integrates love, spies and personalities developing in different places simultaneously--all moving interactively toward a definitive ending. It describes the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. It is a mystery and a history to be enjoyed." John Wiles, international traveler; managing partner, B&W Sporting, LLC
"The two books (Über Alles and After All) are the outline of a screenplay for a fantastic movie. (I'll volunteer as a technical consultant!) Hats off to author Robert Neff." Richard Pabst, CIA (retired)
"Robert Neff draws heavily from his experiences living and working in the culture he includes in his books. You are his pupil, but he allows you to become emotionally involved with the engaging lead characters. These two books (Über Alles and After All) offer so much to the reader that they should be well circulated to book groups and libraries across the country and abroad. They are night-table musts." John Brophy, Cornell University Alumni Magazine
