Behind the cockpit.
The story of a pilot in the fast lane, in free
fall - and of his rise through men's courses.
The year is 1997, when the novel's protagonist, Svend Lindquist, lands
in an expat environment with several thousand pilots from all over the world in Hong
Kong.
The dream has come true there behind the helm of the "queen of the sky", a Boeing 747. But the facade cracks in a
breathtaking double life, where the truth often has to be modified.
Because how high can you fly before you crash? Life in Hong
Kong's neon lights turn into a wild race. In a haze of alcohol,
fast motorbikes and secret affairs. In an escape from
the restlessness and responsibility of fatherhood.
The book is an unvarnished story about infidelity, prison time
and the search for recognition - but also about the difficult path to forgiveness, the end of working life
and inner peace..Svend Lindquist comes to terms with his life. He goes on men's courses in the
Australian outback and for spiritual self-examination in South America.
The Pilot in Hong Kong is a gripping story about losing himself at an altitude of 10 kilometres
and afterwards being able to land safely as a human being.
Per Jansen's book is fiction - but some is based on his own experiences.
Per Jansen hopes that his book can serve as a guide for men about the choices they make in life - and about choices that absolutely do not work.
The author made a decision in his life to retire early from working life.
So does the book's main character, and Per Jansen therefore also sees his book as "a guide to prepare you for what happens when you do so".
