Synopsis
‘Puerto Argentino’ is the second book of The Malvinas Trilogy.
It is February, 1968. To the Argentine Republic the archipelago, Las Malvinas, and all the other British territories taken by force of arms in April 1964 – South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands and the British research stations in the Antarctic – is now a part of Argentina.
The situation is so calm that the officers and men of the Argentine garrison of Las Malvinas, are bringing their families out to the islands as if the conquered territories are as safe as any mainland base.
As time goes by the last vestiges of British administration are being systematically erased. Stanley, the capital of Las Malvinas is now Puerto Argentino, East Falkland is Isla Soledad and all bar a handful Kelpers (the name by which former Falkland Islanders referred to each other) have long been exiled.
The atrocities of the invasion, the scars of the fighting in April 1964 have been built over, forgotten by the new masters of Las Malvinas; nobody thinks the British are ever coming back but that does not mean that the occupiers are not forever looking over their shoulders.
The first visit by the US Navy since April 1964 seems to offer some hope that the international community has put the ‘Malvinas’ issue to bed.
But is everything quite what it seems?
Now, complacency in Buenos Aires and the threat of further budget cuts is beginning to question the ability of the Argentine forces of Las Malvinas to defend the conquests of 1964.
The British have not returned, yet. But does that mean that they well never return?
The third story in this trilogy: A Kelper’s Tale will be released in May 2020. Taken together, the ‘Falklands Trilogy’ of stories will add context to the Timeline 10/27/62 Main Series books ARMADAS (available in October 2020) and SMOKE ON THE WATER (available in April 2021).
Enjoy…
Since the publication of ‘Operation Anadyr’ in October 2014, the Timeline 10/27/62 series has branched into and explored a number of additional narrative arcs and themes, and in several standalone stories.
For my readers who prefer to read the Timeline 10/27/62 books in the chronological order of the overall narrative arc PUERTO ARGENTINO = 27.
