About the Book

Mike ist Ende zwanzig, oberflächlich und schert sich einen Dreck um die Gefühle anderer. Als sein Leben ihn zu langweilen beginnt, macht er sich auf, die Welt zu erobern. Von Frankfurt verschlägt es ihn nach Sydney, wo er nicht nur seine eigene Firma gründet, sondern auch die Liebe seines Lebens kennen lernt. Jade ist warmherzig und überzeugt, aus der Welt einen besseren Platz machen zu können. Mit ihr gemeinsam zieht Mike in eine Wohnung mit Aussicht am McMahons Point, denn er verliert sein Herz nicht nur an seine Freundin. Er betet auch das in seiner Silhouette gleichsam perfekte Verbindungs-bauwerk zwischen dem Nord- und Südteil der Stadt an. Mit dem Platzen der New Economy-Blase nach der Jahrtausendwende schlittert Mikes EDV-Firma in eine tiefe finanzielle Krise und er selbst in das Intrigenspiel einer einflussreichen Sydneyer Geschäftsfrau. Letztendlich sieht er nur noch einen Ausweg, um sein Unternehmen zu retten. Am 11. September, als am anderen Ende der Erde Flugzeuge in Hochhäuser stürzen, begeht er einen fatalen Fehler. Und Jade verlässt ihn. Nach einer Weile, während er in Selbstmitleid zerfließt und sein Leid in Alkohol zu ertränken versucht, beschließt er, um Jade zu kämpfen. Er lässt dafür nichts unversucht, aber letztendlich ist es jemand anderes, der - ungewollt - Jade dazu bringt, zu Mike zurückzukehren. An diese Möglichkeit hätte Mike nicht im Traum gedacht. Er wird es auch niemals erfahren.
About the Author: Roland Weilguny wurde am 12. September 1971 in einem Kaff in Oberösterreich geboren. Dort ging er auch zur Schule. Eigentlich wollte er Schauspieler werden, aber da das aussichtslos schien, versuchte er sich an der Informatik. Neben dem Verständnis für Bits und Bytes lernte er dabei auch, ein Schreibprogramm zu bedienen. So kam er dann eines Tages auf die Idee, Geschichten zu verfassen. Neben seiner Informatik und dem Schreibprogramm kennt er sich auch noch bei Flugzeugen aus. Die nimmt er regelmäßig, um die Welt zu erkunden.
