香味

by Karl Olsberg, 趙英 (Translator)

士兵李維回想起來，那是個風和日麗的午後。教室裡，女老師正講授《可蘭經》，學童端坐在椅子上聆聽。寧靜的景象轉換成東倒西歪的課桌椅，乾枯的深褐色血跡；滿布槍眼的黃褐色粗糙牆面；女教師死前驚恐的雙眼，以及曾試圖躲進木桌下、顫抖哭喊的孩童……。他和三名戰友衝進了這間教室，沒有原因地開槍掃射，而戰友們甚至還盲目地相互射擊致死！

心理學家哈利伯格調查士兵們的心理狀態，並分析血液，雖未驗出曾注射毒品或神經氣體的跡象，但血液卻含有高濃度腎上腺素。此外，四人全都是模範士兵，其中一名死者兩天前才剛輪調，完全沒有任何預謀的可能！最詭異的是，唯一倖存的李維堅稱自己是在追捕恐怖份子！然而，他無法解釋自己失序的行為，僅記得在掃射前，眼前世界變成一片火紅，某種不安的情緒被激起，彷彿被魔鬼附身般……

3,5/ 5

[Susann]

Der letzte Teil nach dem "Konferenz-Showdown" ist doch recht konstruiert und flach. Bis dahin ganz gut, interessante Grundidee.

[Halalilodri]

Im "Parfüm" geht es um viele Düfte, hier nur um einen bestimmten.

[Kai]

Klasse Schriftsteller um ganz entspannt und ohne viel Aufmerksamkeit einer spannenden Geschichte zu folgen.

[Barbara]

Sehr spannend und gut vorstellbar!

[Yu-Tong Kuo]

劇情還不錯，但是感覺少了些什麼。

【圖書館借閱】
用費洛蒙當作恐怖攻擊武器 這個概念蠻吸引的 不過大概看不到1/5左右 我就可以猜到大概的劇情走向 整體蠻像動作片的還有電影場景的既視感 算是可以順順看完的書，但不會特別驚艷

The book reads like watching an action movie from beginning to end.

By the way, it was also a pretty good way to learn some geography — from Germany to Africa to Saudi Arabia.

Actually, I wanted to read another book, 香味, but I picked up the wrong one.

Still, not bad. At least I finished reading this one. 😂

gute Story, schwaches Ende
