Tristan Jones Poradie kníh

In this memorable exploit from a master storyteller, legendary sailor Tristan Jones makes an exceedingly difficult passage through the infamous Kra Penninsula in a small fishing boat.

When Chukchi Police Chief Nathan Active discovers dirt on the governor of Alaska, the woman he is appointed to protect, he finds himself in a precarious position: Expose the truth and risk his job or become complicit in her dangerous affairs? Nathan Active, the top cop in a swath of Alaskan tundra larger than fifteen other US states, has been assigned to bodyguard duty for Alaska’s celebrity female governor, Helen Mercer, while her husband runs the Isignaq, a 400-mile sled-dog race through the Arctic wilderness. Against his will, Active is suddenly swept into her bizarre family affairs and outsized political ambitions. And when he connects the death of a local dog musher to Mercer, her countermoves threaten to ruin the lives of Active’s beloved Grace Palmer and her daughter, Nita. With his career on the line, Active must outwit the governor and save the people he cares for most before time runs out.

The third entry to the Nathan Active series. State Trooper Nathan Active has long been caught between identities. Born an Inupiat Eskimo but raised in Anchorage by adoptive white parents, he had little knowledge of his heritage before being assigned to the remote Alaskan town of Chukchi. He only realizes how deeply settled into the local rhythm he is when Grace Palmer, a local beauty queen, goes missing. Active mounts a search that will lead him halfway across Alaska—and give him plenty of time to discover he is in love with Grace. Closing in on the answers, however, he discovers evidence that points to an agonizing conundrum: she is either dead, or she is a cold-blooded killer.

Es war ein Duell wie Medien und Publikum es lieben, und sie genossen es in vollen Zügen. Ein walisischer Dickschädel mit Holzbein legt sich mit der übermächtigen deutschen Bürokratie an: David gegen Goliath oder Tristan Jones gegen den bayerischen Löwen. Dabei sollte seine Reise quer durch Europa eigentlich das gemütlichste Stück auf seiner Weltumsegelung werden. Doch Jones sitzt im grimmigen Winter 85/86 mit seinem Trimaran 'Outward Leg' auf dem Rhein-Main-Donau-Kanal fest. Niemand hat ihm gesagt, dass der noch nicht fertig ist. Ein Rückzug kommt für ihn nicht in Frage, und langsam friert sein Schiff ein. Also muss ein Tieflader her, der die 'Outward Leg' über die A9 zur Donau transportieren soll. Doch die Autobahndirektion sagt 'Nein': Der Trimaran ist für eine Teilsperrung 30 cm zu breit, und die kommt außerdem nur für Wirtschaftsgüter, nicht aber für Sportgeräte in Frage. Er müsse also leider wieder umkehren. Haben die Beamten sich so gedacht. Doch sie haben ihre Rechnung ohne den Unbilden gewohnten Seemann gemacht.
