I messaggeri di Aleas

Descrizione

Ned is a man of his time. A British soldier stuck inside the mechanism of the Second World War. The action takes place in France, during the so-called “strange war”, that period in which the French and English on one side and the Germans on the other were at war but had not yet begun hostilities.
Everything was ready for the great abyss. Man was falling into the drama of the Second World War.
This first part of the narrative develops in a traditional way, it has its roots in a historical novel dimension, but soon everything changes and the novel points decisively towards a “visionary”, “mystical”, “otherworldly” genre. Fantasy we could say.
Ned, the young English officer, during a reconnaissance mission discovers the betrayal of a British spy in league with the Nazis, tries to escape to report the fact.
He has no escape route, he is almost captured and risks his life, until he discovers the only possible way to save himself.
He can still make it, but to survive he must face an unexpected journey to Aleas.
