Shots in the darkness, dim shapes, an attack. Without thinking, Simon pulls his pistol from his belt and cocks the hammer. Covered in a long cloak, an attacker jumps onto Muir, who is kneeling next to Simon, reloading his gun just at this moment.
Heinz Meistermann's achievement is nothing less than the rebirth of the classical adventure and travel novel. His hero, the 17 year-old son of a German wine merchant from Mainz, sees his future in the USA and emigrates on the spur of the moment to Boston. There, his immense talents are confronted with all types of activities and challenges - and it seems like he is just walking from one adventure to the next. But he proves himself up to all these challenges, even if he only escapes death by the skin of his teeth on some occasions. As he goes along, the knowledge of wine-growing and trade that he gathered in his early youth also proves extremely useful. More decisive for the success of his adventurous life however, is the young hero's ability to take destiny into his own hands, and to not shy away from taking a risk, when it comes to standing his ground.
