Projekt Aladin

Rate this book
Ein altes Manuskript berichtet, dass Aladins Wunderlampe in Wahrheit ein Diamant war, der seinem Besitzer unermessliche Macht verlieh. Niemand sollte sich je dieser Kräfte bedienen. Man teilte den Stein und brachte die beiden Hälften in entlegene Winkel der Welt. Der Archäologe Marcus Frey macht sich auf die Spur der Legende. Denn Terroristen haben offenbar die eine Hälfte des Steins gefunden.

About the author

Peter Millar

62 books9 followers
Peter Millar is an award-winning British journalist, author and translator, and has been a correspondent for Reuters, Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph. He was named Foreign Correspondent of the Year for his reporting on the dying stages of the Cold War, his account of which – 1989: The Berlin Wall, My Part in its Downfall – was named ‘best read’ by The Economist. An inveterate wanderer since his youth, Peter Millar grew up in Northern Ireland and studied at Magdalen College, Oxford. Before and during his university years, he hitchhiked and travelled by train throughout most of Europe, including behind the Iron Curtain to Moscow and Leningrad, as well as hitchhiking barefoot from Dubrovnik to Belfast after being robbed in the former Yugoslavia. He has had his eyelashes frozen in the coldest inhabited place on Earth - Oymyakon, eastern Siberia, where temperatures reach minus 71ºC, was fried at 48ºC in Turkmenistan, dipped his toes in the Mississippi, the Mekong and the Nile, the Dniepr and the Danube, the Rhine and the Rhone, the Seine and the Spree. He crisscrossed the USA by rail for his book All Gone To Look for America and rattled down the spine of Cuba for Slow Train to Guantanamo. He has lived and worked in Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw and Moscow, attended the funerals of two Soviet leaders, been blessed six times by Pope John Paul II (which would have his staunch Protestant ancestors spinning in their graves), and he has survived multiple visits to the Munich Oktoberfest and the enduring agony of supporting Charlton Athletic. Peter speaks French, German, Russian and Spanish, and is married with two grown-up sons. He splits his time between Oxfordshire and London, and anywhere else that will have him.

Geschichte - Religion - Großbritannien - Verschwörung

Leider kam ich in dieses Buch überhaupt nicht rein. Die ersten 2/3 sind meiner Meinung nach relativ zäh, man wird mit vielen Geschichten, Daten und Personen überrumpelt, die alle unterschiedliche Hintergründe zu haben scheinen und doch zusammenhängen. Wirklich „spannend“ wird es erst im letzten Drittel und selbst da habe ich bis zum Ende nicht ganz verstanden, auf was das nun alles hinausläuft. Im Nachhinein finde ich zwar interessant, wie alle Eckpunkte miteinander verknüpft sind und wie die Story endet und das das ganze sicherlich einen kritischen Bezug zur Realität hat, aber abgeholt hat sie mich leider nicht wirklich.

Ein super spannender Roman, der einem die Grenzen und Risiken einer Totalüberwachung aufzeigt.

Kritikpunkt ist für mich nur der Text auf der Rückseite des Taschenbuches, dort wird von einem Archäologen als Protagonisten gesprochen, in Wahrheit ist der Protagonist Historiker!
