Der alte Mann sieht sie an. Zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit blitzen lebhafte Erinnerungen in seinen Pupillen auf. »Sie rannten um ihr Leben ...« 1944. Nathan Blum ist ein Flüchtling aus dem polnischen Ghetto, der beim Geheimdienst in Washington gelandet ist. Er träumt davon, sich an den Nazis für die Ermordung seiner gesamten Familie zu rächen. Und nur deshalb nimmt er den Auftrag von US-Präsident Roosevelt an … Blum lässt sich in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz einschleusen, um den jüdischen Physikprofessor Alfred Mendl vor dem sicheren Tod zu bewahren – denn durch seine Forschungen hält Mendl den Schlüssel zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs in den Händen. Doch schnell begreift Blum, dass der Plan völlig aussichtslos ist. Auch er wird in diesem KZ den Tod finden … Robin Agnew: »Ein Buch, das zu Tränen rührt. Großartig und unvergesslich. Definitiv eine der besten Neuerscheinungen des Jahres.« Washington Post: »Das emotionalste und fesselndste Buch, das Gross bisher geschrieben hat. Ein Muss für Anhänger von Romanen über den Zweiten Weltkrieg.« Publishers Weekly: »Eine fesselnde Ode an den menschlichen Willen.« Booklist: »Bewegend und spannend. Ein Triumph auf ganzer Linie.«

Der eine Mann

Hauck está abalado com as notícias; Uma amiga próxima que ele teve no passado, juntamente com o marido e com a filha, foram brutalmente assassinados dentro de casa por intrusos...Uma agente do governo dos Estados Unidos vê transferências bancárias repentinas de milhões em dinheiro e suspeita que este é o primeiro passo num enredo para desencadear uma onda de pânico global. O investigador de segurança privada, Ty Hauck, com Naomi Blum, uma agente do Departamento do Tesouro dos Estados Unidos, desvendam como estes eventos se relacionam, revelando um esquema de alto risco que se estende de Nova York a Londres e à Europa Central. O que começou com uma tragédia que abriu uma porta para o passado de Hauck, termina com uma corrida frenética para evitar um desastre que poderia abalar toda a segurança dos Estados Unidos, se não, do mundo.

Alto Risco

Marzo, 1942. Kurt Nordstrum, un joven ingeniero noruego que decidió sumarse a la resistencia después de que soldados alemanes asesinaran a su prometida, debe llegar a Reino Unido para transmitir una preocupante noticia: a partir de un compuesto conocido como «agua pesada», los nazis están muy cerca de desarrollar una bomba atómica en una remota planta química empotrada en la meseta escandinava. Junto con un equipo de compatriotas decididos, Kurt secuestra un barco costero y navega hacia tierras escocesas para alertar a la inteligencia británica. La situación demanda medidas urgentes y desesperadas; sin embargo, por su ubicación entre montañas y riscos, bombardear la planta no es viable. La única oportunidad es infiltrar a un grupo pequeño de valientes que saltarán en paracaídas en una de las regiones más inhóspitas de Europa. Nordstrum y compañía emprenden la campaña más temeraria de la guerra, una misión de la que es casi imposible que sobrevivan, pues incluso si logran superar las duras tormentas de la montaña y el crudo frío noruego, tendrán que introducirse en el centro del peligro y sabotear los planes del enemigo. Pero nada de eso importa. De su éxito o fracaso dependerá la victoria de los Aliados. Audiolibro narrado en español neutro
