Operation Schlosser (Eves Krieg, Heldinnen der Special Operations Executive #2)
by Hannah HoweEves Krieg ist eine Reihe aus zwölf Novellen. Jedes Buch ist circa 20.000 Wörter lang und beinhaltet eine in sich abgeschlossene Geschichte. Der Preis wird für die gesamte Reihe auf ein Minimum gesetzt. Der Handlungsbogen von Eves Geschichte wird am Ende der Reihe beendet. „Ich habe gehört, dass Sie nach Frankreich zurückkehren möchten“, sagte der Mann hinter dem Mahagoni-Schreibtisch. „Das ist korrekt“, bestätigte ich. „Und Ihre Beweggründe?“, fragte er und glättete die Spitzen seines Schnurrbarts. „Ich will meinen Teil zu den Kriegsanstrengungen beitragen“, erklärte ich, „die Nazis besiegen und herausfinden, was mit meinem Ehemann geschehen ist.“ „Es wäre äußerst riskant“, warnte der ernst aussehende Mann, „vielleicht sogar gleichbedeutend mit Selbstmord, als Frau solch ein Unterfangen allein anzugehen. Wir hätten da aber eine Alternative.“ „Eine Alternative?“ Ich runzelte die Stirn. „Ja. Wir bringen Sie dorthin, als eine von unseren Leuten. Natürlich müssten Sie zuerst eine Ausbildung absolvieren. Eine harte Ausbildung. Eine geheime Ausbildung. Wenn Sie versagen, bedeutet das leider eine Weile im Kühler, womöglich, bis der Krieg vorüber ist.“ „Im Kühler?“ „Aber ich bin sicher, so weit wird es nicht kommen“, fuhr er fort, ohne meine Frage zu beachten. „Wann können Sie beginnen?“ Ich begann sofort. Und während meiner Ausbildung traf ich zwei Leute, die mein Leben radikal verändern würden: Guy Samson und Mimi Duchamp. Ich lüftete auch Geheimnisse über mich selbst, Fähigkeiten, die meine Vorstellungskraft überstiegen. Aber während die Ausbildung voranschritt, wurden auch die Situationen immer realer, bis zu dem Punkt, an dem ich töten musste, um nicht getötet zu werden.
