Deftly combining elements of drama, humor, and historical documentary, this novel tells the story of two brothers and the different paths they choose after growing up in the tumult of the 1960s--amid marches in favor of nuclear disarmament, fundraisers for victims of civil war, and relief of environmental disasters. Initially inspired by the music of Bob Dylan, the elder brother, Rob, campaigns passionately against the Vietnam War and apartheid before settling down with marriage, his children, and a career. But the younger boy, Tom, stays true to his roots and remains involved in all the major campaign issues of the day. Set primarily against the backdrop of Great Britain, as created by Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair, this narrative explores the last half-century of radical protest in the UK.

Nach der Explosion in einem Wiener Lagerhaus findet die Polizei einige Leichen die zumindest eines gemeinsam haben - alle diese Personen waren schon vor Ausbruch des Feuers getotet worden. Was bleibt ist die Frage ob ein CIA-Mann namens Brown an dem Inferno beteiligt war. Und, wie Karl Meixner seine Verletzungen uberleben soll. Ein Jahr spater schickt die CIA einen jungen Agenten auf seinen ersten Auslandseinsatz nach Europa und stellt ihm Jonathan W. Merryweather von der ansassigen US-Botschaft zur Seite. Man halt die Zeit fur gekommen um den abtrunnigen Jim Brown endlich zu stoppen. Doch Merryweather muss erkennen, dass Vieles nicht in normalen Bahnen lauft. Gewichtige Interessen sind zu wahren, alte Geschichten werden ans Licht gezerrt und so ganz allmahlich erhalt eine verborgene Realitat eine neue, erschreckende Dimension. Auch mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges hat Wien als Drehscheibe der Geheimdienste nichts an Brisanz verloren. Es wurde nur schwerer zu entscheiden, wer Freund ist, und wer Feind. Mit Fata Morgana gelingt es Mark Gold aus seinen Buchern Alexanders Abschied und Ballawatsch einen Zyklus zu schaffen. Und er gewahrt damit Einsicht in eine Welt, die vollig real ist und die wir trotzdem so noch nie gesehen haben. J.E.
