Mientras Mimi examinaba su equipo inalámbrico, una figura emergió en la oscuridad. Tenía más de treinta años y poseía unos hombros anchos y una estructura musculosa, mientras que una nariz orgullosa y un bigote bien recortado dominaban sus apuestos rasgos. “Los búhos son ruidosos esta noche”, dijo el hombre revelando una voz dotada de un profundo barítono. –Se permite hacer ruido cuando se es el más sabio de los pájaros, –respondí. Una vez establecidas nuestras palabras clave, el hombre se adelantó y me estrechó la mano. Su apretón de manos fue firme mientras su acción de bombeo amenazaba con quitarme el brazo del hombro. –Soy Jean-Claude, sonrió. –Jean-Claude Quiniou. Le acompañaré al piso franco y le presentaré a la familia Le Roux". –Soy Genoveva, –contesté, –y ella es Lise. Por supuesto, utilicé nuestros alias, ya que Eve y Mimi pertenecían a otra vida.

Descripción del libro: La Guerra de Eva es una serie de doce novelas. Cada libro contiene aproximadamente 20.000 palabras y una historia completa. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que el precio a lo largo de la serie se fijará en el nivel mínimo y que el arco de la historia de Eve se concluirá al final de la serie. —Entiendo que desea regresar a Francia, dijo el hombre detrás del escritorio de caoba. —Eso es correcto, —dije. —¿Su motivación? —preguntó, afinando las esquinas de su bigote. —Para poner mi granito de arena en el esfuerzo de la guerra, para derrotar a los nazis y descubrir lo que le ha sucedido a mi marido —afirmé. —Eso sería extremadamente arriesgado, incluso suicida para una mujer solitaria emprender tal aventura. Sin embargo, hay una alternativa, —dijo el hombre de aspecto de oficial. —¿Cuál alternativa? Fruncí el ceño. —Sí. Le lanzaremos en paracaídas, como uno de los nuestros. Por supuesto, usted tendría que realizar el entrenamiento primero. Un entrenamiento riguroso. Formación de alto secreto. Si fallas, me temo que significará un periodo en el letargo, posiblemente hasta que la guerra finalice. —¿El letargo? —Pero confío en que no llegará a eso, —aseveró, ignorando mi pregunta. —¿Cuándo puede comenzar? Comencé inmediatamente. Y durante mi entrenamiento conocí a dos personas que cambiarían radicalmente mi vida: Guy Samson y Mimi Duchamp. También descubrí secretos sobre mí misma y habilidades más allá de mi imaginación. Sin embargo, a medida que el entrenamiento se calentaba, las situaciones se volvían demasiado reales, hasta que llegaron a un punto en el que tuve que matar, o morir.

Operación Gladio

by Benjamín Prado

Operación Gladio nos guía por el tortuoso camino que llevó en España de la dictadura a la democracia, lleno de conquistas y renuncias, acuerdos históricos y pactos vergonzosos. ¿Qué tenían en común el asesinato de los abogados laboralistas de la calle de Atocha, el magnicidio del almirante Carrero Blanco, los atentados de los GRAPO, la guerra sucia contra ETA y la violencia que jalonó la Transición española? Esas preguntas conducen a la periodista Alicia Durán hasta la Red Gladio, organización anticomunista promovida por la CIA tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial que mató a miles de inocentes para sembrar el caos y evitar la expansión de la izquierda por Europa. El éxito de su investigación, llevada a cabo entre España e Italia, correrá paralelo al riesgo de su vida... Mientras reconstruye esa historia y la de un republicano capturado en Francia, ejecutado cerca de Madrid y, veinte años más tarde, enterrado ensecreto en el Valle de los Caídos, cuyos restos intenta recuperar su hija, Operación Gladio nos guía por el tortuoso camino que llevó en España de la dictadura a la democracia, lleno de conquistas y renuncias, acuerdos históricos y pactos vergonzosos. Mezclando realidad y ficción con grandes dosis de suspense, Benjamín Prado nos presenta en esta novela de espías una revisión crítica de nuestro pasado más reciente co-protagonizada por Juan Urbano, el personaje central de su anterior obra, la celebrada Mala gente que camina.

Operación Overlord

by Hannah Howe

Fuera había oscuridad total. Dentro, Guy parecía calmado, sus rasgos no dejaban ver emoción alguna. Mimi estaba inquieta, sus pequeños píes entraban en constante contacto con la tarima. Henri y Paul bromeaban por medio de lenguaje de signos. Hélène y Kadia se miraban nerviosas. Aymer masticaba una caña de maíz mientras se apoyaba contra la pared. Jean-Claude afilaba su cuchillo con una piedra de afilar. Bernard intentaba sintonizar la radio, para encontrar señal. Yo acariciaba mi vientre, intentando distinguir mis nervios de las patadas del bebé. Se escuchó el fuerte sonido de un reloj de pie en el pasillo. Les sanglots longs des violons de l’automne. Todas nuestras miradas se dirigieron a la radio. Nos quedamos en silencio cuando escuchamos las palabras del locutor. Era la primera estrofa del poema de Paul Verlaine; «Chanson d’automne», los largos sollozos de los violines de otoño. El locutor acababa de dar la señal que anunciaba el comienzo de la invasión.

Operación Zigzag: La Guerra de Eva; Las heroínas de la SOE

by Hannah Howe

La Guerra de Eva es una serie de doce novelas. Cada libro contiene alrededor de 20,000 palabras y una historia completa. Por favor, note que el precio de toda la serie se establece al nivel mínimo y que el arco histórico de la serie concluye hasta el último libro. Marsella, Diciembre de 1942 “Estamos en un aprieto” Dijo Vincent. “La Gestapo acaba de capturar a un agente británico con el nombre clave de Zigzag. Lo capturaron al descubrir que sus documentos de identidad eran falsos, y aunque aún no han descubierto quién es él realmente, estoy seguro que lo descubrirán y lo harán hablar. Al final de cuentas, todos lo terminan haciendo, y cuando lo haga, terminará revelando secretos que destruirán la red de resistencia local, incluyendo la nuestra. Pero hay una forma de salir de esto; a través de un guardia que esté dispuesto a sobornos. Queremos que lo encuentres y lo sobornes para que libere a Zigzag de la prisión de la Gestapo y después lo escoltes a través de las montañas, hasta llegar a España”. “¿Por qué yo?” Pregunté. “Porque tu ayudaste a establecer la red de escape y porque conoces los senderos de las montañas como si fueran la palma de tu mano. Además, al ser la esposa del respetado industrialista Michel Beringar no levantaras ninguna sospecha”. Miré a Michel. La mirada seria en su rostro me decía que no estaba contento. ¿Estaba arriesgando demasiado? ¿Y si levantaba sospechas y la Gestapo me seguía al espiar mi teléfono? Desde chica me escapé de casa. Cuando fui una adolescente viajé por el mundo viviendo de mi ingenio. Al ser periodista, presencié atrocidades hechas en nombre del fascismo. Siendo un miembro de la resistencia supe lo que era afrontar el miedo y vencerlo. He vivido lo suficiente estos últimos treinta años. Sé que puedo lograrlo. Sin embargo, incluso cuando expresé mi acuerdo, sabía que mi vida en Marsella y mi vida con Michel nunca vo
