TYTUL SKOK
Krystyna Skarbek - dla Brytyjczyk�w Christine Granville, dla Churchilla "ulubiona agentka" - nie pasowala do salonowych ram. C�rka polskiego hrabiego, piękna, brawurowa i śmiertelnie niebezpieczna, wybiera walkę tam, gdzie inni widzą tylko beznadzieję. Rok 1944. Skarbek skacze ze spadochronem w gląb okupowanej Francji. Misja: ocalic rozbite siatki oporu na plaskowyżu Vercors i przygotowac grunt pod aliancką inwazję.
W świecie, gdzie zrzuty broni przyciągają wzrok Abwehry, sukces ma swoją cenę. Krystyna staje się celem numer jeden. Informatorzy sypią, kryj�wki ploną, a każda zaszyfrowana depesza może byc ostatnią. "SKOK" to kronika tych decydujących miesięcy, gdy wywiad ustępuje miejsca brutalnej walce o przetrwanie, a granica między lojalnością a zdradą zaciera się w cieniu alpejskich szczyt�w.
Kulminacja następuje w Digne-les-Bains. Trzej oficerowie SOE czekają na egzekucję. Krystyna, bez wsparcia Londynu i bez broni, wchodzi prosto w jaskinię lwa - do siedziby Gestapo. Uzbrojona jedynie w nadludzką pewnośc siebie i blef, kt�ry przejdzie do historii wywiadu, musi przekonac oprawc�w, że ich jedyną szansą na przeżycie jest uwolnienie więźni�w.
Ale wojna Krystyny nie kończy się wraz z kapitulacją Niemiec.
Przenosimy się do Londynu, rok 1952. Kobieta, kt�ra rzucila wyzwanie III Rzeszy, zostaje odstawiona na boczny tor. Odznaczona medalami, ale politycznie niewygodna dla brytyjskich elit, staje się "obca" w kraju, za kt�ry przelewala krew. Przeżyla przesluchania i wyroki śmierci, by ostatecznie zmierzyc się z izolacją, kt�ra okazuje się bardziej niszczycielska niż frontowa linia.
"SKOK" to oparta na faktach, mocna powieśc szpiegowska. To portret kobiety, kt�ra nie znala strachu, oraz gorzki rozrachunek z powojenną rzeczywistością, kt�ra o swoich bohaterach wolala zapomniec.
Kriss, Jack: -
Jack Kriss writes historical fiction drawn from real acts of courage and quiet defiance. His work explores the fragile line between fear and resolve, and the hidden lives of those who shaped history from the shadows. A painter as well as a novelist, he is drawn to atmosphere, memory, and the tension between light and darkness. THE LEAP is his debut novel.
