Basques Stories

THE FIRST VICTIM OF ETA. MORE THAN 850 VICTIMS WOULD FOLLOW: Twenty-two month old María Begoña Urroz Ibarrola.

Within the dark confines of the 'Spear of Donostia' collider, Patxi and Eneko embark on a perilous journey to a distant moon of Saturn. Haunted by their own pasts and the eerie mysteries of deep space, they face a stark reality: not all will return from this mission. "Abyss of Shadows" explores the depths of human courage, the allure of the unknown, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the face of impending darkness.

In 1966, a mid-air collision results in a bomb falling near the drought-stricken Spanish village of Palomares. Eduardo Garcia, the local mayor, considers the unexploded bomb a gift from the gods and makes a deal to return it to the USAF in exchange for a new well. Unfortunately, Basque separatists have different ideas. They steal the bomb to use in a plot to assassinate General Franco, unaware that it is a thermonuclear device. Eduardo, with the help of streetwise American sergeant John Delgado, sets out to recover the weapon needed to secure his community's water supply. Oh ... and avert a nuclear disaster. NOTE: This story is fictional but is based on a real event (see Author's Notes).
