Operación Rose es el séptimo libro de la serie La Guerra de Eve: Heroínas de la DOE

Dit is het achtste boek in de reeks De Oorlog van Eve – Heldinnen van de SOE. Waarschuwing: dit boek bevat scènes die sommige mensen als schokkend kunnen ervaren. Mimi liep naar een kleine eettafel die ze vol legde met documenten en kaarten. “We hebben een bericht ontvangen van Arthur,” zei ze. “We hebben een opdracht gekregen voor een nieuwe missie, een sabotageactie. We moeten twee kanonnen gaan vernietigen bij Le Havre.” We liepen naar de tafel waar Mimi ons de locatie aanwees op een kaart. “Waarom?” vroeg ik. “Ik denk,” zei Mimi, “dat we dit doen om de nazi's ervan te overtuigen dat de invasie bij Le Havre zal gaan plaatsvinden.” “Misschien zullen de nazi's het zien als een staaltje dubbele bluf,” zei Guy, “en de conclusie trekken dat de invasie niet zal plaatsvinden in Le Havre.” “Maar in werkelijkheid gaat dat misschien juist wel gebeuren,” zei ik. “Verwarrende hersenbrekers,” zei Mimi. Ze vouwde de kaart op en gaf de documenten aan Guy. “Onze taak is de kanonnen te saboteren en de vijand in verwarring te brengen.” “Ik ga met je mee,” zei ik tegen Guy. “Ik neem deel aan deze missie.” Guy las de aantekeningen van Mimi. Daarna vernietigde hij ze door ze aan stukken te scheuren en ze in het vuur van de haard te gooien. “Oké,” zei Guy, “je kunt meedoen met deze missie. Maar intussen, Mimi, wil ik dat jij een vlucht regelt voor Eve.” “Waarom?” vroeg Mimi met gefronste wenkbrauwen. “Omdat ze terug naar huis gaat,” zei Guy.

De Oorlog van Eve is een serie van twaalf novelles, korte boeken van ongeveer 20.000 woorden per boek. Operatie Rose is het zevende boek in de serie. Elk boek bevat een compleet verhaal dat zich afspeelt tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De overkoepelende verhaallijn wordt aan het einde van de reeks afgesloten. Bij een houten kerkbank vol ingekerfde namen en woorden wendde ik me tot Rose en ik zei, “Je neemt grote risico's voor ons.” “Vrijheid is het waard om risico's voor te nemen,” zei Rose. “Maar hoe zit het met de risico's voor je familie?” Rose keerde zich om en keek me boos aan. “Wie zegt dat ik een familie heb?” “Ik nam aan dat je getrouwd bent,” zei ik, “en dat je kinderen hebt.” Rose zag eruit als een huisvrouw. Ze droeg geen ringen aan haar vingers, maar toch leek haar hele manier van doen te wijzen op een leven als huisvrouw. “Ik wil het liever niet over mijn familie hebben,” zei Rose. “Ik begrijp het,” zei ik. Toen galmden ineens de klanken van een orgel door de kathedraal. Het plotselinge geluid kwam als een verrassing voor me. Rose schrok er zichtbaar van. “Ik moet gaan,“ zei ze. Ik knikte. “Wees voorzichtig.” Ik wachtte en luisterde naar het orgel. Het geluid klonk modern, het was een geëlektrificeerd orgel. Ik herkende de melodie niet, maar de muziek was prachtig. Eenmaal buiten wandelde ik door de nauwe steegjes en straten die geplaveid waren met kasseien. Ik kon niet goed uitleggen waarom, maar ik hield van straten met kasseien. Nadat ik vijfhonderd meter had gelopen draaide ik me om en keek ik naar de kathedraal; ik dacht even na over Rose. Ik beschouwde haar als een raadselachtig persoon. Maxime Durand had voor haar ingestaan. Londen vertrouwde Durand, maar ik had mijn twijfels over hem. Om veiligheidsredenen vond ik dat ik meer over Rose te weten moest komen.

De Oorlog van Eve is een serie van twaalf novelles, korte boeken van ongeveer 20.000 woorden per boek. Operatie Sherlock is het vijfde boek in de serie. Elk boek bevat een compleet verhaal dat zich afspeelt tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De overkoepelende verhaallijn wordt aan het einde van de reeks afgesloten. “Arthur is bezorgd over het nieuwste wapen waarmee de nazi's terreurdaden kunnen plegen,” zei Guy. “Een raket die de potentie heeft om op grote schaal dood, verwoesting en chaos in Groot-Brittannië te veroorzaken. Hij wil dat we de locatie opsporen zodat de RAF de basis kan vernietigen.” “Hoe krijgen we dat voor elkaar?” vroeg ik. “De Résistance in Parijs denkt de locatie te hebben gevonden,” zei Guy. “Arthur wil dat wij een onderzoek uitvoeren om hun vermoedens te bevestigen.” “Waarom wordt dit niet afgehandeld door het plaatselijke Sherlock verzetsnetwerk?” vroeg Mimi. “Kort geleden hebben de nazi's de radiotelegrafist van Sherlock gevangen genomen,” zei Guy. “Hun netwerk ligt in puin. Het vertrouwen in het netwerk bevindt zich op een dieptepunt. Ik keek naar Mimi en zag hoe bleek en gespannen ze eruitzag. Als radiotelegrafist stond ze continu onder druk; elk bericht dat ze verzond kon leiden tot een mogelijke arrestatie. Een trip naar Parijs klonk geweldig, maar Mimi's bezorgde gezicht herinnerde me eraan dat we het gevaar gingen opzoeken, misschien zelfs dodelijk gevaar.

De Oorlog van Eve is een serie van twaalf novelles, korte boeken van ongeveer 20.000 woorden per boek. Operatie Cameo is het zesde boek in de serie. Elk boek bevat een compleet verhaal dat zich afspeelt tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De overkoepelende verhaallijn wordt aan het einde van de reeks afgesloten. Ik zat in de woonkamer van de boerderij voor het haardvuur en las het dossier van Vivienne Hernandez. Ze was 24 jaar en woonde in Londen waar ze, voordat de SOE haar rekruteerde, werkzaam was als telefoniste. Ze beheerste meerdere talen, hield van gymnastiek – net als Mimi – en van fietsen, schaatsen en het maken van kleding. Haar beoordelaars hadden ook genoteerd dat ze ‘wel van een feestje hield'. Ik had haar bij het vliegtuig opgehaald en zag toen meteen dat ze een elegante en gracieuze verschijning was. Ze was stijlvol, mooi – het complete pakket. Eigenlijk had ik meteen jaloers moeten worden, maar in plaats daarvan moest ik glimlachen toen ik eraan terugdacht. Ik mocht haar wel. De Franse echtgenoot van Vivienne was omgekomen toen hij vocht voor het Vrije Franse Leger in Senegal. Haar twee jaar oude dochter had ze thuis achtergelaten bij gastouders. Vader en dochter hadden elkaar nooit ontmoet. Dat was triest en kwam me bekend voor. De moeder van Vivienne was Engels, haar vader Frans. Ze hadden gewoond bij de Frans-Spaanse grens en ze waren, toen de nazi's binnenvielen, via de Pyreneeën gevlucht. Ik kende die route goed. Ik verscheurde het dossier van Vivienne tot kleine snippers die ik vervolgens in het vuur gooide. Binnen enkele seconden waren ze tot as verbrand, verteerd door de oranje vlammen. Ik vroeg me af wat Guy van Vivienne zou vinden. Dat zou ik snel genoeg ontdekken als hij terug was van zijn reis naar de kust. Ik vroeg me af hoe ze in ons team zou passen. Als een tijdelijke vervanging voor Mimi voorzag ik geen problemen. Achteraf terugkijkend zou ik die inschatting beschouwen als

Lá fora, a escuridão havia descido. Por dentro, Guy parecia calmo, suas feições não traindo nenhuma emoção. Mimi parecia inquieta, seus pés pequenos andando pelas tábuas do assoalho. Através da linguagem de sinais, Henri brincava com Paul. Hélène e Kadia trocavam olhares nervosos. Aymer mastigava um talo de milho, enquanto se encostava em uma parede. Jean-Claude afiava a faca em uma pedra de amolar. Bernard lutava para sintonizar o rádio, para capturar um sinal. Eu acariciei minha barriga e tentei distinguir entre os tremores nervosos e o meu bebê chutando. Um relógio de pêndulo tocou alto no corredor. “Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne.” Todos nós nos viramos e olhamos para o rádio. Por um segundo, todos nós congelamos ao ouvir as palavras do locutor: a primeira estrofe do poema de Paul Verlaine, Chanson d'automne – ‘os longos soluços dos violinos do outono'. O locutor havia enviado a mensagem codificada. Ele havia sinalizado o início da invasão.

'Arthur è preoccupato per la nuova arma del terrore dei nazisti', disse Guy.'Dei razzi; hanno il potenziale per causare morte, distruzione e caos in Gran Bretagna. Vuole che localizziamo il sito di lancio in modo che la RAF possa bombardarlo'.'Come possiamo farlo?'Chiesi.'La Resistenza a Parigi pensa di aver individuato il sito', disse Guy.'Arthur vuole che confermiamo i loro sospetti'.'Perché la cellula Sherlock sul posto non se ne occupa?'. Chiese Mimi.'Recentemente', disse Guy,'la Gestapo ha catturato il loro operatore radio. La loro rete è nel caos. La fiducia è ai minimi'. Guardai Mimi e notai i suoi lineamenti bianchi e tirati. Come nostra operatrice radio, viveva sotto costante stress; ogni trasmissione rappresentava una potenziale cattura. Un viaggio a Parigi sembrava meraviglioso. Tuttavia, l'espressione preoccupata di Mimi mi ricordò che stavamo viaggiando verso il pericolo, potenzialmente verso la morte.

De overkoepelende verhaallijn wordt aan het einde van de reeks afgesloten. Terwijl Mimi haar radioapparatuur controleerde kwam er een gestalte tevoorschijn uit de duisternis. De breedgeschouderde en gespierde man was rond de vijfendertig jaar oud. Met zijn parmantige neus en keurig verzorgde snor zag hij er aantrekkelijk uit. “De uilen zijn luidruchtig vannacht,” zei de man met een diepe baritonstem. “Je mag veel lawaai maken als je de wijste van alle vogels bent,” antwoordde ik. Nadat we onze codewoorden hadden uitgewisseld stapte de man naar voren en gaf hij me een hand. Het handen schudden deed hij op zo'n krachtige wijze dat hij mijn arm bijna uit mijn schouder trok. “Ik ben Jean-Claude,” zei hij met een glimlach. “Jean-Claude Quiniou. Ik zal jullie naar het onderduikadres brengen en jullie voorstellen aan de familie Le Roux.” “Ik ben Genevieve,” zei ik, “en dit is Lise.” Vanzelfsprekend gebruikte ik onze schuilnamen, want Eve en Mimi hoorden thuis in een ander leven.

Marselha, dezembro de 1942'Estamos em uma situação difícil,'disse Vincent. “A Gestapo capturou um agente britânico, de codinome Ziguezague. Eles o pegaram por meio de seus papéis de identidade falsos, mas o fato é que não descobriram sua verdadeira identidade, ainda. Mas eles vão descobri-lo. E ele vai falar. Todos eles o fazem no final. E quando ele falar, ele revelará segredos que destruirão as redes de resistência locais, incluindo a nossa. Mas há uma saída, por meio de um guarda. Ele está aberto a subornos. Gostaríamos que você, Eve, encontrasse o guarda, subornasse-o, liberasse Ziguezague de sua prisão na Gestapo e o acompanhasse pela passagem nas montanhas até a Espanha.”'Por que eu?'Eu perguntei. “Porque você ajudou a estabelecer a rede de fuga. E você conhece as trilhas da montanha como a palma da sua mão. Além disso, como esposa do respeitado industrial Michel Beringar, você está acima de qualquer suspeita.”Eu olhei para Michel. Pelo olhar severo em seu rosto, eu poderia dizer que ele não estava feliz. Este seria um risco muito grande? E quanto a eu estar acima de qualquer suspeita... a Gestapo estava me seguindo e grampeando meu telefone.Quando criança, eu fugia de casa. Quando adolescente, eu viajei o mundo, vivendo da minha inteligência. Como jornalista, testemunhei atrocidades infligidas em nome do fascismo. Como um membro da Resistência, eu observei o medo e o encarei. Nos últimos trinta anos, eu vivi uma vida plena. Eu poderia fazer isso. No entanto, mesmo quando expressei estar de acordo, sabia que minha vida em Marselha, minha vida com Michel, nunca mais seria a mesma.

Joe Stark -- U. S. Naval Intelligence Agent -- knew he'd have his hands full. There were miles of pipeline, oil wells and refineries to be wired and charged with dynamite so they could be blown to hell-and-gone when zero hour came; natives to be kept from spooking and running away; and death lurking around every corner. In the meantime, there was SELINDA, boldly aggressive and acutely possessive; YOSHI, doll-like and fragile, who offered herself for reasons of her own; and SUZANNE who could be ice or flame, demure or wanton. It seemed to Joe that in the midst of chaos and the smell of death, life became sweeter, mating a driving necessity, and love a soothing balm for screaming nerves....

W.E.B. Griffin's iconoclastic OSS heroes face an historic challenge in the brand-new volume of the New York Times-bestselling series. Critics and fans alike welcomed the return of the “shrewd, sharp, rousing” (Kirkus Reviews) Men at War series: “The Saboteurs is good entertainment and the fast-paced and exciting novel Griffin's readers have come to expect. This is Griffin's 36th novel and his son's first; one wonders how prolific a force Griffin & Son will be!” (Library Journal) Now, Dick Canidy and colleagues in the Office of Strategic Services face an even greater task—to convince Hitler and the Axis powers that the invasion of the European continent will take place anywhere but on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. “Wild Bill” Donovan's men have several tactics in mind, but some of the people they must use are not the most reliable—are, in fact, most likely spying for both sides – so the deceptions require layer upon layer of intrigue, and all it will take is one slip to send the whole thing tumbling down like a house of cards. Are the OSS agents up to it? They certainly think so. And then the body is found floating off the coast of Spain.... Filled to the brim with action, character, and the deep understanding of the military heart and mind that have made Griffin's books so outstanding, The Double Agents is irresistible storyteller from a master of the craft.

W.E.B. Griffin continues his gripping Men at War series, featuring the legendary OSS. As the Battle of the Atlantic rages, German U-boats are sinking U.S. vessels at will. Meanwhile, preparations are being made to invade Sicily and Italy. As the war heats up,'Wild Bill'Donovan and his secret agents find themselves battling on two fronts at once.

“In the first nineteen months of European war, from September 1939 to March of 1941, the island nation of Britain and her allies lost, to U-boat, air, and sea attack, to mines and maritime disaster, one thousand five hundred and ninety-six merchant vessels. It was the job of the Intelligence Division of the Royal Navy to stop it, and so, on the last day of April 1941...”May 1941. At four in the morning, a rust-streaked tramp freighter steams up the Tagus River to dock at the port of Lisbon. She is the Santa Rosa, she flies the flag of neutral Spain and is in Lisbon to load cork oak, tinned sardines, and drums of cooking oil bound for the Baltic port of Malmö.But she is not the Santa Rosa. She is the Noordendam, a Dutch freighter. Under the command of Captain Eric DeHaan, she sails for the Intelligence Division of the British Royal Navy, and she will load detection equipment for a clandestine operation on the Swedish coast–a secret mission, a dark voyage.A desperate voyage. One more battle in the spy wars that rage through the back alleys of the ports, from elegant hotels to abandoned piers, in lonely desert outposts, and in the souks and cafés of North Africa. A battle for survival, as the merchant ships die at sea and Britain–the last opposition to Nazi German–slowly begins to starve.A voyage of flight, a voyage of fugitives–for every soul aboard the Noordendam. The Polish engineer, the Greek stowaway, the Jewish medical officer, the British spy, the Spaniards who fought Franco, the Germans who fought Hitler, the Dutch crew itself. There is no place for them in occupied France; they cannot go home.From Alan Furst–whom The New York Times calls America's preeminent spy novelist–here is an epic tale of war and espionage, of spies and fugitives, of love in secret hotel rooms, of courage in the face of impossible odds. Dark Voyage is taut with suspense and pounding with battle scenes; it is authentic, powerful, and brilliant.

On the brink of World War II, a young, beautiful-second generation German immigrant was recruited by FDR to steal Nazi technology.

In present-day New York City, CIA contract killer Sunny Vicam wants out. But just as he's about to slip into anonymity, he gets a mysterious cash-in-hand offer that's too good to refuse--until it propels him into a world more chilling than any he has known. For decades after V-E day, one last victory remains to be won, and one last hero to be recovered. From the banks of the Ganges to a cave on a Caribbean island, Sunny is about to discover a deadly mythology come to life--and World War II's longest-surviving secret. It's an assignment whose dangers, horrors--and rewards--he can't begin to imagine.

The crackling new novel in the bestselling Honor Bound series, by the master of the military thriller. As with his other enormously popular series, the first two novels in W. E.B. Griffin's saga of World War II espionage in Germany and Argentina – Honor Bound and Blood and Honor – became immediate bestsellers and were hailed as “immensely entertaining adventures” (Kirkus Reviews). Now, in Secret Honor, Griffin creates his most rousing novel yet. In Wolf's Lair, a German general works toward the assassination of Adolf Hitler. In Buenos Aires, the general's son, code-named Galahad, falls under suspicion by the SS after a Nazi operation suddenly goes bad. In the middle of it all is OSS agent Cletus Frade, who knows the identity of father and son and what they will do next…if they can survive that long. For not only are SS and Abwehr officers hot on their trails in both countries, but the OSS has branded Frade a rogue agent and is determined to shake the truth from him, at whatever cost. If Frade can't figure a way to hold them all off, then the futures of all three men may be very short indeed…. Written with the special flair that Griffin's readers expect, filled with high drama and real heroes, Secret Honor is further proof, in Tom Clancy's words, that “Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition.”

September 1939. As Warsaw falls to Hitler's Wehrmacht, Captain Alexander de Milja is recruited by the intelligence service of the Polish underground. His mission: to transport the national gold reserve to safety, hidden on a refugee train to Bucharest. Then, in the back alleys and black-market bistros of Paris, in the tenements of Warsaw, with partizan guerrillas in the frozen forests of the Ukraine, and at Calais Harbor during an attack by British bombers, de Milja fights in the war of the shadows in a world without rules, a world of danger, treachery, and betrayal.
