Synopsis

ALERTĂ MAXIMĂ  is, apparently, a seductive adventure novel, built according to all the rules of the genre: seismologists involved in the series of events caused by the collapse of a Soviet military satellite, secret services engaged in tough operations to recover the satellite’s remote control code, double agents. .. But the adventure, although captivating, is only a pretext that motivates the foray into a sick world – Romania before 1989. The novel’s epilogue brings us to Romania after 1989 whose continuities suffocate the changes, revealing their fragility.
