About the Book

Matthew Newcomer wird 1970 als Agent nach Österreich geschickt, um einen ausbrechenden Krieg in Mitteleuropa zu unterbinden. Um dieses Top-Secret Unternehmen nicht zu gefährden kommt er als Tourist und scheinbar ohne jegliche Ausrüstung.Er werde nicht alleine gelassen, gab man ihm als Abschied mit. Er gelangt mehr durch Zufall in jenes Dorf, das er schon als Kind kannte. Nach seiner Flucht aus Ungarn, knapp den Deutschen 1944 entkommen, war er zehn Jahre alt. Mit seiner Halbschwester Tamara und seinem Grossvater hatten sie in den Kellerräumen eines Schlosses eine Bleibe gefunden. Zu den anderen Familien, die mit ihnen aufgebrochen waren, um in die USA zu gelangen, war die Verbindung abgerissen. Damals verschwand auch sein Grossvater über Nacht. Tamara, hochfiebernd, bat Matthias zu fliehen. Vielleicht würde er entkommen. Als blinder Passagier in New York aufgegriffen, landete er im Gefängnis. Freigelassen, fand er einen Platz in der Rüstungsindustrie. Ein Dach über den Kopf und genug zum Essen. Monate später arbeitete er am Fliessband der Automobilindustrie. Nur wenige Handgriffe, aber diese mussten mit Genauigkeit durchgeführt werden. Einst kam durch Ungeschicklichkeit das Band zum Stehen. Man strich ihm den Lohn. Er nahm sich vor, genauer zu arbeiten. Ein Jahr später, seine Sprachkenntnisse hatten sich verbessert und die eintönige Arbeit am Fliessband konnten seinem Wissensdrang nicht befriedigen. Er fand eine Werkstätte, die die unterschiedlichsten Motoren zusammenbauten und reparierten. Einem Fahrer von FBI half er in einer schwierigen Situation. FBI übernahm ihn als Mechaniker. Er erlangte die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft. Ein Kontakt zu seinen Angehörigen blieb ihm versagt. Dieser Umstand bewog ihn bei CIA zu unterschreiben. Einsteigen ja, Aussteigen nie. Nach einem Vietnameinsatz kam er nach Österreich. Elli, seine Nichte ermöglichte ein Wiedersehen mit Tamara. Ein Krieg konnte verhindert werden.
