Todesfalle Nizza Krimi von Uwe Erichsen Der Umfang dieses Buchs entspricht 173 Taschenbuchseiten. Blutüberströmt richtete sich Eric auf. Seine Hände griffen nach dem Steuerrad. Der Bug des schweren Bootes schwenkte herum, zeigte genau auf die unbekannte Yacht, die ein zweites Mal heran schoss. "Nein!", schrie Günter, als er die Absicht des schwerverletzten Freundes erkannte. Eric biss die Zähne zusammen. "Keine Angst", keuchte er. "Unser Kahn hält das aus..." Dann erfüllte ein Krachen und Bersten die Luft. Die Yacht der Verfolger brach in der Mitte auseinander. Sie sank in Sekundenschnelle. Die Wucht des Zusammenpralls hatte Eric gegen das Steuer geschleudert. Sein Gesicht war schmerzverzerrt. Aber ein wilder Glanz flackerte in seinen Augen. "Jetzt ist Cat gerächt", brach es aus ihm hervor. "Es waren ihre Mörder..."- Shop: buecher

The Perfect Storm of 1991: The Story of the Nor'easter that Sank the Andrea Gail , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
The technical name for the new storm was a 'midlatitude cyclone.' The people in its path, however, would later call it the No Name Hurricane, since it had all the force of a hurricane, but was never officially designated as one. And because the brunt of the storm would strike the Eastern Seaboard around October 31, it would also acquire another name: the Halloween Gale. (Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm) People in the Northeastern United States have been dealing with winter storms for centuries, and people in the South and on the East Coast have dealt with hurricanes and tropical storms for just as long, but it's rare for the weather systems that produce such storms to actually collide with each other and produce a more powerful storm. In fact it's unusual enough that when it happened in late October 1991, one weatherman dubbed it the "perfect storm". Indeed, the perfect storm of 1991 was unique in many respects. By feeding off of Hurricane Grace and another storm to the south, the nor'easter that was hitting the Northeast and Canada became an incredibly powerful storm that struck the North Atlantic before swinging back south and again developing into a tropical storm. In the process it produced waves in excess of 100 feet near Nova Scotia and caused substantial flooding across the East Coast. It was also responsible for a handful of deaths throughout the region. The storm may have been one of those that residents in the area would remember and talk about in comparison to subsequent storms, but the perfect storm is well-known across the country thanks to Sebastian Junger's book, The Perfect Storm. ungekürzt.

Die Schläfer (brand eins: Tempo)
Ein Beitrag aus der Märzausgabe der brand eins zum Schwerpunkt 'Tempo'.In der Morgendämmerung, wenn die Sonne jenseits des Öresunds aufgeht, sitzen die Pendler dicht an dicht in den Zügen. Mit einem Becher Kaffee in der einen und dem Mobiltelefon in der anderen Hand sind sie unterwegs aus dem schwedischen Malmö hinüber nach Dänemark, in das gelobte Land. Wo die Unternehmen noch immer nach neuen Arbeitskräften rufen, ob sie nun aus dem Umland kommen oder über das Meer. Spätestens seit sich Dänemark dazu durchrang, den Kündigungsschutz erheblich zu lockern und die Tarifpolitik zu liberalisieren, sank die Arbeitslosenquote rapide - von annähernd zehn Prozent Mitte der neunziger Jahre auf rund fünf Prozent zur Jahreswende. Längst ist von Vollbeschäftigung und Arbeitskräftemangel die Rede.- Shop: Audible
