      Una storia di guerra, di vendetta e di redenzione

      Nel 1944, oltre 5000 volontari ebrei si formano in Palestina in una propria unità all'interno dell'esercito britannico, con la stella gialla sulle loro uniformi. Dimostrano al mondo e a se stessi che anche gli ebrei possono combattere. Dopo la fine della guerra, alcuni membri della Brigata Ebraica si muovono attraverso l'Europa con segreti commando di morte, alla ricerca di criminali di guerra e assassini. Tuttavia, di fronte al destino di migliaia di sopravvissuti all'Olocausto senza patria, da vendicatori diventano salvatori. Grazie al loro incredibile coraggio e ingegno, decine di migliaia di persone devono la vita a loro.

Dit is zijn verhaal, het verhaal van een ontvoering met fatale gevolgen. De vraag die centraal staat is: wie beraamde dat afschuwelijke misdrijf? Is het de projectontwikkelaar Paul McCann, wiens bedrijf in financile problemen verkeert, of is het zijn werknemer Lester Dobbs? Als Dobbs zijn baas beschuldigt van ontvoering en zelfs moord, ziet advocaat Alan Parks zich gesteld voor een bijna onmogelijke taak: Paul McCann vrij te pleiten. Maar is zijn clint wel zo onschuldig?

      With Choices, Noah Gordon brings to a close his great trilogy spanning the generations of the Cole medical dynasty. Beginning with the legendary 11th-century doctor Robert J. Cole, each eldest son has borne the same name and middle initial, and some have possessed the uncanny "sixth sense" known as The Gift: the terrible and instinctive knowledge that someone is about to die. In Choices, it emerges again in the present, but this time in a daughter, Roberta Jeanne d'Arc Cole, known as R.J. The first time R.J. defies her beloved father is when she is born a female; the second, when she chooses to study law rather than medicine. Yet destiny is to overtake her when R.J. realizes that she has inherited The Gift. As she holds the hands of a sick man, R.J. feels a dreadful certainty that he is going to die; tragically, he is her own lover. Struggling with her grief, R.J. knows she must bow to the inevitable and become a physician. But her life changes when she moves to a small-town practice and is faced with a terrible dilemma -- and an important choice to make.
