Peter Nasse for providing invaluable contacts, for always being willing to help, and for the pleasure of one day seeing him on screen.
Ingo Haberkorn, Federal Criminal Police Office Berlin, for his in-depth crisis management of non-human atrocities and crimes.
Uwe Steen, PR division of the Cologne police force, for his help in answering the question as to who and what would respond when and how in the time of the yrr.
Dieter Pittermann for opening up the route to oil platforms and to the scientific side of Trondheim, and generally for helper det er til hjelp.
Tina Pittermann for establishing the line of communication to her father, for her grandma's books, and for waiting patiently for the return of said books.
Tina's grandma for the books.
Paul Schmitz for photos, beard transplants, two years of doing without music and the faultless recommendation: never get old!
Jürgen Muthmann for his insights into Peruvian fishing, for being patient with writers who don't like to fly, and for always being close in spite of the distance.
Olaf Petersenn, my trusty editor at Kiepenheuer Witsch, for finally adding the word cut to my vocabulary.
Helge Mai chow, publisher, for engaging in a leap of faith and for publishing the longest book in the history of Kiepenheuer Witsch.
Yvonne Eiserfey, who cast her expert eye over the original German edition for spelling mistakes and typos.
Jürgen Milz, my friend and business partner, for all his understanding and for his ability to keep a small ship afloat despite the hefty swell.
My gratitude as well to everyone at Hodder Stoughton, especially my editor Nick Sayers, his assistant Anne Clarke and my publicist Henry Jeffreys. An extra thank you is due to Sally-Ann Spencer, who did more than 'just' translating The Swarm fabulously, to Loma Slater, for proofreading, and to Hazel Orme, for copyediting.
My sincere thanks also to Cologne's long-serving mayor Norbert Burger for putting me in touch with Hans-Jürgon Wischnewski, to Hans-Peter Buschheuer for writing to Ben Wisch, to Claudia Dambowy for medical advice, to Jürgen Streich for supplying reading material on Greenpeace, to Hejo Emons for the loan of thrilling and informative deep-sea films, Forjochen Cerhak for more of the same, and especially to Wahida Hammond for all the many kindnesses – it was about time that was said!
A special thank-you is due to my parents Brigitte and Rolf Schiitzing, who can take the credit for any good points I may have, and who are always there for me, and have steered me through calm and troubled waters, always choosing the right course, even in the fog.
In the great cycle of life on Earth the end is always also the beginning. And following the same neat logic, my biggest thank-you is saved until last. In the same way as I start and end each day of my life with the most wonderful thing I could wish for, I end and begin these acknowledgements with the love of my life. According to some people, Sabina is my secret editor; others see her as my great good fortune. Both interpretations are right. This book, my love, was written for you.
