Rezensionen
Die schwarze Hornisse von Alistair MacLean
Ein einfacher Agententhriller aus den frühen 1960er Jahren mit ein, zwei unerwarteten Wendungen und einem gelegentlich an sich zweifelnden Protagonisten. Es kann eine recht unterhaltsame Geschichte sein, wenn man sich von einigen Klischees und den klassichen Rollenbildern nicht stören lässt, bzw sie als Folge der Entstehungzeit liest.
Ein Luxusliner befoerdert wie ueblich eine bunt gemischte Gruppe von Passagieren durch die karibische See. Doch diese Fahrt nimmt eine tragische Wendung, als ploetzlich Terroristen, die sich an Bord eingeschlichen haben, das Schiff kapern und ein Blutbad anrichten. Ihr Ziel sind nicht die Wertsachen der Passagiere, sondern ein mit Gold beladener Frachter, dessen Weg sich mit dem Luxusliner kreuzt.
