Hitlers invasie komt steeds dichterbij en plots duiken er mysterieuze berichten en codes op bij het landhuis op Bletchley. Zijn de berichten voor hen of is het een val? En zouden het Enigma-raadsel en hun moeders verdwijning iets met elkaar te maken kunnen hebben?

L' atomica. Dagli studi di Oppenheimer alla corsa per costruire (e rubare) l'arma più pericolosa del mondo
Nel dicembre del 1938, un chimico tedesco, Robert Oppenheimer, fece una scoperta che ha cambiato il corso della storia mondiale: posizionando un atomo di uranio accanto a del materiale radioattivo, si verificò la divisione dell'atomo in due parti. Questa scoperta scatenò una corsa scientifica che coinvolse tre continenti, con intense attività di spionaggio e ricerca. I protagonisti di questa storia furono i più illustri scienziati del tempo, le spie internazionali più abili, commando militari pronti ad agire e i più spietati dittatori che il mondo abbia mai conosciuto. L'obiettivo era il dominio militare globale. Questa è la storia di cospirazioni, segreti, macchinazioni e geni che hanno portato alla creazione dell'arma più potente e pericolosa al mondo: la bomba atomica. In pochi anni, questa rivoluzione scientifica divenne un¿arma di distruzione di massa. La prima bomba fu sganciata su Hiroshima e, pochi giorni dopo, un¿altra su Nagasaki. Il conflitto della Seconda Guerra Mondiale terminò con la resa dei nazisti. Età di lettura: da 13 anni.
