Amina al-Sirafi könnte kaum zufriedener mit sich und ihrer Welt sein. Nach ihrer beeindruckenden Karriere als berüchtigtste Piratin des Indischen Ozeans, in deren Verlauf sie hinterhältige Schurken, rachsüchtige Handelsherren, mehrere Ehemänner und einen echten Dämon überlebt hat, steuert sie nun auf ruhigeres Fahrwasser zu. Abseits von Blut und Tod. Und vor allem abseits des Übernatürlichen. Doch dann erhält sie ein Angebot, das kein echter Freibeuter guten Gewissens ablehnen kann: Für eine fürstliche Belohnung soll Amina die entführte Tochter eines Kameraden zurückbringen. Die Aussicht auf ein letztes Abenteuer mit ihrer Crew und auf mehr Reichtum, als sie sich je hätte träumen lassen, lässt sie noch einmal den Anker lichten. Doch schon bald muss sich Amina fragen, ob dieses letzte Abenteuer seinen Preis wert ist. Vor allem, wenn dieser Preis ihre eigene Seele sein könnte.

This account of the pandemic's financial upheaval reveals the fear, grit, and gambles that shaped the economy's winners and losers, as seen through the eyes of a leading Wall Street Journal reporter. In 2018, the CEO of American Airlines confidently stated that the company would never lose money again. However, by March 2020, the U.S. economy, once thriving with record low unemployment and a soaring Dow Jones, faced a sudden collapse, resulting in ten million job losses and iconic firms seeking bailouts. CEOs, caught off guard, abandoned long-term strategies and made hasty decisions in hopes of survival. The pandemic ignited existing vulnerabilities, stemming from a decade of cheap debt and relentless growth, while stagnant wages and the gig economy left millions struggling. Through access to influential business leaders, the narrative explores how the pandemic exposed critical pressure points within the economy. Retail bankruptcies surged, banking and pharmaceutical companies collaborated, and airlines like Delta grappled with safety versus survival. The narrative also highlights key figures like Goldman Sachs's David Solomon and American Airlines's Doug Parker, showcasing their struggles during this unprecedented crisis. Ultimately, it examines the pandemic's implications for the future of work, corporate leadership, and capitalism, questioning whether this moment will foster resilience or be forgotten as a costly mistake.
