Opis

In 1970s Buenos Aires, with the city under military occupation, people disappear at a terrifying rate. They are the "desaparecidos," those who vanish forever.

Camouflaged by the ongoing crisis, someone abducts young adults for another goal. These desaparecidos are used to create a compliant, easily-manipulated population.

Lucas and Vera Freund are among those abducted. The young couple-both brilliant scientists-have stumbled onto a discovery that could change humanity forever. To shield their work from those who would abuse it, they're willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Years later, Frances Fons and Julian Haller meet in Zurich. They know nothing of the horrors that transpired in Argentina. The two only know they're young and in love.

They're also in danger.

Someone has manipulated the sweethearts their entire lives with a singular goal in mind. Deep in a scientific institute in New Mexico lies a secret, locked away behind the door of a special vault-a door only Frances and Julian can open.

An engaging tale of conspiracy and control, "Against the Oaks of Bashan" raises a troubling question: if your thoughts are not your own, whose are they?
