Par Maria Antònia Oliver i Cabrer. 2023
Una novel·la inèdita de Maria Antònia Oliver, premi d'Honor de les Lletres Catalanes, que és un cant a la llibertat…
i, sobretot, a l'amor. Maria Antònia Oliver va escriure aquesta novel·la epistolar, inèdita fins ara, a partir de les cartes que ella i la seva parella, el també escriptor Jaume Fuster, es van intercanviar mentre ell feia el servei militar a l'illa de Cabrera, on el van traslladar per motius polítics.La història d'amor dels dos protagonistes, escrita amb els pseudònims d'Olívia Guillot i Yus Picó, trena les emocions, l'enyor i la ràbia per la separació imposada amb el retrat d'un país gris, a finals dels anys seixanta, amb la llibertat i la llengua tancades amb pany i clau. «La vida, en sortir del present, no la conec, serà totalment nova per a tots dos. Quan hi penso fredament, m'esvero. Hi ha un munt de preguntes materialistes: de què viurem? Trobarem feina? [...] Val més no fer càbales, no creus? Després de les tenebres que vivim al començament del nostre camí, el més probable és que tot se'ns faci més planer: almenys estaré al teu costat i això sol omple la meitat del tot. Desitjo un futur inquiet, ple de tu, completament diferent de l'ara que sembla no acabar mai».Max: A Maximum Ride Novel (Maximum Ride #5)

But the war has only begun . . .Reactionary enemy regimes have brutally taken command in South Africa and Germany. U.S. and European shipping lanes are suddenly under attack. World War is at hand—and for the ruthless Berlin–Boer Axis, the devastating weapons of choice will be tactical nukes used at sea.The Voortrekker, a deep-diving state-of-the-art German submarine, is on the prowl, carrying more onboard firepower than many of the world’s nations possess—and the crippled sub USS Challenger is the only weapon in America’s arsenal that can match up with the silent killer.

Fuller has faced Voortrekker in the past and, unlike so many others, he survived. This time, however, the fight will take place in waters far too deep for a normal sub to withstand.
