Flight - The Phantom - Tamanrasset

Three women, three short stories, three voyages into the unknown: Catherine, a young physicist, is one of the first people to set foot on Mars. In the remoteness of space, she and the rest of the crew are soon caught in a life-threatening situation. §Daniela, a teenage dropout, is found unconscious in the forest. Could she possibly be involved in a series of crimes?§Susanne, a philosophy student, gets lost in the Sahara along with her expedition team. She witnesses unexplainable events, during which one team member after the other disappears without a trace.§Simon Weipert s short stories are expeditions into unexplored terrain in both a literal and a figurative sense. They are not only thrilling adventure stories in which the reader follows the heroines into fascinating and dangerous landscapes, but also voyages into the characters souls. For all three women, their adventure means a profound change in their lives, and in the face of danger all of them are suddenly confronted with emotional conflicts, such as the end of a relationship, a career crisis, or doubts about religion. In a clear and precise language, the author combines three extraordinary adventures which ponder life s deepest questions.
