On the football pitch, the ball doesn't care who you are. All that matters is that you play. Growing up in a struggling family in Uruguay, Mártin Padilla found comfort in only one thing, football. Every victory gave him a glimpse of the happiness that always seemed out of reach at home. Determined to escape the life waiting for him there, he pushed himself through the ranks, until finally reaching the top stage. But as he navigates through the world of professional football, the harder it becomes to outrun the problems following him off the pitch. As fame, pressure, and unresolved trauma begin to shape his life, Mártin must learn who he is beyond the game before his own bad habits destroy everything he's worked for. And maybe, just maybe, the person who can help him is a rival captain carrying troubles of his own. *All bolded parts in the series are meant to be in Spanish

"He's teaching her how to hack his empire. She's collecting the evidence to burn it down." I was paid to translate. Not to interpret. Not to judge. Kira Khine arrives in Portugal with a passport missing an entry stamp, a revoked university admission, and €23,000 she refuses to touch. She didn't come for romance. She came to survive. But survival gets complicated when her landlord turns out to be Rodrigo Costa-a tech billionaire, single father, and the quietest, most unreadable face in northern Portugal. He offers her a deal: translate contracts in Burmese. In exchange, he'll teach her to hack. She takes it. Then she translates Clause 12.4. IMEI numbers. Geolocation data. Unrestricted real-time access-disguised as "urban planning." The kind of data you use to hunt people. The kind of people who disappear in Myanmar every day. Now, Kira has a choice: look away and cash the cheque. Or learn everything Rodrigo can teach her, and use it to destroy him. An impossible attraction. A dangerous game of secrets. He's letting his guard down around her-and she's collecting the evidence to burn his empire to the ground. Somewhere in the vineyard, a seven-year-old girl named Sofia is waiting for her friend Kiki to come to her birthday party. I trust me.She did. She does. A slow-burn geopolitical thriller about translation, cyber warfare, and ultimate betrayal.

Wegen der anhaltenden Dürre in der Sahelzone begleiten Tom, Nikos und die libysche Einsatzgruppe weiterhin Hilfsflüge in die Länder südlich der Sahara. Dabei geraten sie in Gao (Mali) ein weiteres Mal in ein Feuergefecht mit Schergen der syrischen Waffenhändlerfamilie Al-Hafiz, das die Einsatzgruppe weitgehend unbeschadet übersteht. Auf ihrem ersten Einsatz in Äthiopien erleben sie grauenhafte Zustände in den Provinzen Tigray und Eritrea, die belegen, dass die Herrschaft des Kaisers Haile Selassie, wie das ganze Land, am Rande des Zusammenbruchs steht. Eine Mission, die Tom, Nikos und Sophia nach Europa führt, erscheint ihnen daher beinahe wie eine Urlaubsreise. In Paris übergeben sie dem Vorsitzenden der portugiesischen Sozialisten und in Südspanien einem portugiesischen Offizier größere Geldbeträge, die für den bevorstehenden Putsch gegen die faschistische Diktatur in Lissabon dringend benötigt werden. Auf der persönlichen Ebene zeichnet sich ein neues Drama ab, als sich Sophia in Björn verliebt und sich schwertut, sich zwischen ihm und ihrem Freund Maher zu entscheiden, der in Griechenland auf sie wartet.
