Enwor. Das schwarze Schiff

Enwor #5

by Wolfgang Hohlbein

Gowenna, die verstoßene Errish, befindet sich mit den Satai Skar und Del auf dem Weg zum "Berg der Götter", um dort die gefangengenommene Vela auftragsgemäß zu übergeben. Ihr Freisegler "Sharkaan" wird von dem Dronte, dem schwarzen Schiff, versenkt, und sie und die Besatzung fliehen auf eine riesige Eisinsel. Auf der Suche nach einem möglichen anderen Hafen, wo sie ein neues Schiff zu finden hoffen, werden sie bei ihrem über alle Kräfte gehenden Marsch durch Schneewüsten und über schier unüberwindliche Eisgebirge ständig von fürchterlichen, übernatürlichen Wesen des Dronte verfolgt und angegriffen.

About the author

Wolfgang Hohlbein is a German author of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. Their daughter, Rebecca, is also a writer.

Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.

Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English. In 2006, Magic Moon was translated into English and published in the United States.

The most tedious one out of the series. I remembered this from when I read it 20 years ago and my opinion didn't change this time.
