In 1970s Buenos Aires, with the city under military occupation, people disappear at a terrifying rate. They are the desaparecidos, those who vanish forever. Camouflaged by the ongoing crisis, someone abducts young adults for another goal. These desaparecidos are used to create a compliant, easily-manipulated population. Lucas and Vera Freund are among those abducted. The young coupleβboth brilliant scientistsβhave stumbled onto a discovery that could change humanity forever. To shield their work from those who would abuse it, theyβre willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Years later, Frances Fons and Julian Haller meet in Zurich. They know nothing of the horrors that transpired in Argentina. The two only know theyβre young and in love. Theyβre also in danger. Someone has manipulated the sweethearts their entire lives with a singular goal in mind. Deep in a scientific institute in New Mexico lies a secret, locked away behind the door of a special vaultβa door only Frances and Julian can open. An engaging tale of conspiracy and control, Against the Oaks of Bashan raises a troubling question: if your thoughts are not your own, whose are they?
