Aunque ya no seas una estrella..., siempre hay una última esperanza para brillar. Brisa es una de las celebrities más…
afamadas del mundo de la tele. Sin embargo, está encasillada en un personaje que no la deja avanzar profesionalmente.

Por otro lado, Mirco Mancini es la nueva sensación de Hollywood, una estrella incipiente a la que le ha costado llegar donde está. Rodar una película basada en el viejo Oeste será la oportunidad de relanzar la carrera de ella y de convertirse en un erudito de la actuación para el otro.Un beso en Lovelight

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.
