Capitán Riley es una espectacular novela de aventuras y espionaje, ambientada en el norte de África y la Europa de mediados de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El protagonista de la historia, Alejandro M. Riley, es un veterano de la guerra civil española con problemas de bebida, que al mando de un pequeño buque de cabotaje y una fiel tripulación de prófugos de tierra firme, navega por el Mediterráneo dedicándose al peligroso negocio del contrabando en tiempos de guerra. A finales de 1941 los ejércitos de Hitler han conquistado Francia y avanzan imparables hacia Moscú, España sufre las terribles secuelas de la Guerra Civil, y el totalitarismo en todas sus formas parece destinado a dominar el mundo. En ese escenario, el capitán Riley y su tripulación son contratados por el hombre más poderoso de la España de la posguerra, para recuperar un misterioso artefacto de un naufragio frente a las costas de Tánger. Una misión aparentemente sencilla, pero que inesperadamente se complicará poniendo en peligro la vida de todos ellos, precipitándolos en la vorágine de una conjura internacional de la que nada sospechan. Una diabólica conspiración que, bajo el nombre de Operación Apokalypse, podría decidir no solo el futuro de la guerra sino el de la humanidad misma. «Capitán Riley es una tormenta de acción, amor, traición, sexo, intriga y aventura. Sobre todo, muchísima aventura»

NO-MAN'S-LAND takes place at the end of August of 1937, in the days prior to the Battle of Belchite in the Spanish Civil War, but is in no way a novel of war.It is a thrilling tale of adventure full of humor, starring Alex Riley and his loyal friend Joaquín Alcántara, volunteers in the Lincoln Batallion, who unintentionally find themselves mixed up in a daring rescue mission under the very noses of Franco's Army.The episode I describe in this book took place a few years before the events described in the novel Captain Riley, and is one of those stories usually told by the fireside or at the end of a long evening, with a glass in one hand and one's gaze lost somewhere in memory.The story of NO-MAN'S-LAND could be called a novella, or perhaps a long short story (180 pages, you can be the judge of that), which does not require you to have read Captain Riley in order to enjoy it. A story filled with action, humor and a few added drops of love, which you might find hard to tear yourself away from at night so as to go to sleep.Well, reader-friend, I think this is all I had to say. I hope you enjoy the adventure, and that this will just be one more of the many journeys we will share from now on.
