Stine Lindh #2
Pandora
Et cruiseskip i Karibia har fullsatt sal under kveldsshowet. I det forrykende avslutningsnummeret drysses gråhvitt miltbrannpulver over publikum, og det største bioterrorangrepet i Vesten er et faktum. På Mallorca ankommer Omar Shakir familiens feriebolig etter endte studier i London. Han blir tvunget til å spionere for den amerikanske etterretningsorganisasjonen NSA, for NSA mistenker at Shakirs far er selveste Oksen - den islamske stats mektige og usynlige finansansvarlige. I Oslo strever Stine Lind med å få til sin tredje dokumentar. Men når Shakir tar kontakt, øyner hun muligheten til å lage en verdenssensasjon av en dokumentar. Problemet er at den vil være avslørende for en av de mest barbariske terrororganisasjonene verden noen gang har sett.
Pandora er en thriller om det største bioterrorangrepet i Vesten, der vi igjen møter Stine Lind fra Profitøren.

About the author

67 books56 followersFor the Norwegian author by the same name, please see: Tom Kristensen
Tom Aage Kristensen was born in London in United Kingdom in 1893 to Danish parents. In his early childhood the family moved back to Denmark, more specifically Copenhagen, where Kristensen grew up.
Kristensen was a Danish poet, writer, and critic. He was a key figure in Danish literature in the interwar period (as well as later), and is considered one of the few Danish expressionist writers.
A path towards literature was being shaped early on, as he was named after the fictional character Uncle Tom from Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which was his mother's favorite book.
In 1919 Kristensen graduated with a major in Danish. After graduating he taught English for two years whilst writing his first works. In 1920 he debuted as a poet, when Fribytterdrømme (in English: "Freebooter Dreams") was published. The year after he made his debut as a novelist with Livets Arabesk (in English: "The Arabesque of Life"). Both works are characterized as expressionistic writings with strong influences from Nietzsche's thoughts on chaos and lack of accept of the passed-on systems of belief.
During the 1920's Kristensen travelled a lot within and outside of Europe. Travels to i.e. China, Japan and Spain resulted in published fictional depictions of his destinations.
Despite his many travels and writings thereof, his probably best known novel takes place in his own Copenhagen as well as in some of his own personal struggles:
In 1930 Hærværk (published in English in 1968 as Havoc) was published. The novel, considered by many to be Kristensen's greatest work, revolts around the life of alcoholized literary critic Ole Jastrau, whose life bears great resemblance to Tom Kristensen's own life at the time. The story depicts a self-destructive nihilistic soul determined to drink himself to death in a modern western capital. Kristensen's fascination with chaos and disaster once again shines through in his masterpiece.
A few years after the death of his third wife in 1943, he withdrew from the Danish capital, and moved to the small island Thurø in 1946 where he lived until his death in 1974.

Spennende thriller!
Boken er godt skrevet og handlingen er god. Slutten er overraskende og gjør boken ekstra god.

Eit cruiseskip blir utsatt for biologisk terrorisme når det blir spreidd miltbrann-pulver over den store avslutningsforestillinga. Angrepet fører til eit raskt fall på dei store børsane for heile næringa og amerikansk etteretning finn ut at verdas meist frykta terrororganisasjon truleg står bak terroren og profiterar på aksjefallet.
Det visar seg at dette er ein ny måte for IS å finansiere si virksomhet på. Dei planlegg terrorangrep på store børsnoterte selskap og forhåndssel (shorter) aksjar rett før kursfallet som dei åleine veit kjem til å kome. Sentral i denne strategien står ein mann med kodenavn "Oksen".
Omar, ein ung muslimsk mann, blir verva av NSA (National Security Agency) for å spionere på sin far, som amerikanarane trur er "Oksen". Vi følger Omar gjennom ei nervepirrande tid kor han mellom anna og havnar i Oslo, hos dokumentarfilmskaparen Stine. Dette er ein spanande samtidsthriller som set fokus på viktige internasjonale problemstillingar, og Tom Kristensen gjer slikt betre enn dei fleste.

Sannsynligvis svært virkelighetsnært, men likevel en ganske "flat" historie. Da jeg var ferdig med boken tenkte jeg "var det alt?". Jeg følte ikke at det egentlig var noen skikkelige spenningstopper her, men mulig det bare kom av høye forventninger?

En av de beste bøkene jeg har lest i det siste. Jeg kunne ikke legge den fra meg, spenning fra første til siste side! Anbefales på det varmeste.
