Indomabile: Trilogia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, Volume 1
by Marion KummerowBerlino, Germania 1932. In un periodo di tensioni e conflitti politici, un uomo trova il coraggio di battersi… Il Dottor Wilhelm "Q” Quedlin, ingegnere chimico e inventore, vive per la scienza. Una donna non rientra nei suoi programmi e tantomeno essere accusato di spionaggio industriale. Le cose tuttavia prendono una brutta piega. Osservare l’ascesa di Hitler al potere non fa che accrescere il suo desiderio di evitare un’altra guerra che distruggerebbe completamente il suo amato paese. Q prende coscientemente la decisione di combattere contro ciò che sa essere sbagliato, anche se opporsi ai nazisti potrebbe significare morte certa per lui e per chi ama. Hilde Dremmer aveva giurato che non avrebbe più amato. Tuttavia, dopo avere incontrato Q, vuole dare all’amore una seconda possibilità. Quando Q le rivela il suo piano di resistenza, sta a Hilde scegliere tra la sua vita tranquilla senza di lui, oppure la costante minaccia di tortura qualora lo avesse sostenuto nella sua battaglia contro le ingiustizie. Lei ha già assistito a un numero sufficiente di atti violenti del governo nazista, tanto da essere atterrita dal nuovo potere politico, ma ciò sarà sufficiente perché una ragazza comune si comporti in modo straordinario e resti vicino all’uomo che ama in un momento di totale desolazione? Questa spy story al tempo della Seconda Guerra Mondiale si basa sugli eventi reali che videro una coppia combattere per la propria felicità e al contempo lottare contro i propri governanti.

The worst November storm on record creates the perfect cover for Chad's approach, but Celeste is better prepared than he expects. What Celeste is not prepared for is a shocking truth in the form of a ghost from her past.
