A great barking of dogs broke the silence of the sleepy summer afternoon. Elinor Pomeroy laid down her knitting and slowly walked around the house. The barking of the three big dogs had been on a joyous tone. A young man was racing up the long front drive, the dogs leaping and bounding around him. "Three rousing cheers, old dear," he cried. "Three cheers! I have won out!" "Do you really mean it, Lester?" she cried. "Do you really mean that your invention is a success?" "It certainly is, Elinor," he answered, a certain gravity coming into his face and manner. "I know now that it is all right. We have even tried it out, and I am sure of it." Elinor took her excited brother by the arm and led him to the wide, swinging hammock.

A train had just come to a stop in the border station of Virballen. Half of the platform of that station is in Russia; half of it in East Prussia, the easternmost province of the German empire. All trains that pass from one country to the other stop there. There are customs men, soldiers, policemen, Prussian and Russian, who form a gauntlet all travelers must run. Here passports must be shown, trunks opened. Getting in or out of Russia is not a simple business, even in the twentieth century. All sorts of people can't come in while a good many who try to get out are turned back, and may have to make a long journey to Siberia if they cannot account for themselves properly.

Deutsche Fassung des im Jahre 1958 erschienenen Abenteuer-Romans 'The Pirates of Shan', den Harold L. Goodwin unter seinem Pseudonym 'John Blaine', verfasst hat. Er ist Teil seiner lehrreichen Jugendbuchserie um den jungen Helden 'Rick Brant' und seiner Freunde.Zwei amerikanische Wissenschaftler sind im philippinischen Dschungel verschwunden und eine gefährliche Suche nach ihnen beginnt. Kein Mobilfunk, kein Internet, man hat aber das 'Neueste' dabei, das damals zur Verfügung stand. Was als 'moderne Elektronik' galt - tragbare Funksets oder Drahtaufzeichnungsgeräte, machen das Buch auch deshalb zu einem Retro-Abenteuer. Das Equipment erweist sich aber dennoch als sehr hilfreich im Kampf gegen blutrünstige Piraten, auf die sie bald stoßen werden, im Herzen der pazifischen Tropen.Fantasiereich für den jugendlichen Leser geschrieben, der sich wohl gerne mit den jungen Burschen identifiziert, wird auch der eine oder andere Erwachsene Gefallen an dem Abenteuerroman finden können und die durchgehende Spannung schätzen, besonders wenn man respektiert, in welcher Zeit er verfasst wurde.Das Buch ist auch deshalb recht lesenswert, weil man viel über die Leute und das Land im pazifischen Feuerring lernt, mit interessanten Beschreibungen von Landschaften, Orten und nicht zuletzt der See und ihren vielen Inseln. Dazu erfährt man viel Wissenswertes über die verschiedenen Kulturen, was der Handlung ein sehr plastisches Bild gibt, das man immer vor Augen hat.
