SCHOLAST:

//Logging on. See Amicable, Hellgod, Blue Danube here already. Thanks for promptness. Welcome Seaward to the group. Gents, I’ve already placed Sea in the picture regarding both security and aim of our enterprise.

031331Z JAN

AMICABLE:

//Welcome, Seaward.

031331Z JAN

HELLGOD:

//Welcome to the history behind the history.

031331Z JAN

SEAWARD:

//Hope to be able to contribute. Any way I can.

031332Z JAN

SCHOLAST:

//BD, your report.

031332Z JAN

BLUE DANUBE:

//The candidate is motivated and moving into position. Actually there were some lucky breaks in this regard. Unplanned by us, but I’d be happy to take credit.

031332Z JAN

HELLGOD:

//My question same as three-four sessions ago. We can create conditions, but how do we make him move? What exactly is your hold on this guy? Who we need a name for. Not real name, but some kind of handle.

031332Z:

SCHOLAST:

//Call him Forthright.

031332Z JAN

BLUE DANUBE:

//OK. The point is, HG, not so much to make Forthright do what we want as to make it believable afterward that he did. See the diff? We’ll put him into position where it would be perfectly credible that he does what he does. If he doesn’t, then we go to Plan B, but he still remains the presumptive actor.

031333Z JAN

HELLGOD:

//BD and I have discussed this between us & with one other interested party. That is, how to make it happen if our buddy doesn’t operate as planned. Don’t trigger off, Schoolboy, the other party was not made privy to any of the rest of the enterprise & is just as security conscious as we are.

031333Z JAN

SCHOLAST:

//Not happy to hear you discussed any part of this outside the group. But trust your judgment. Wd like to hear more on this between us, let’s meet.

//Reminder for everyone: close hold, close hold, CLOSE HOLD.

031333Z JAN

AMICABLE:

//It’s still only a contingency plan. Right?

031334Z JAN

HELLGOD:

//Nobody seems to be listening, but I’ll say it again: it’s past time to retire this player. Don’t poll me when G wants to execute, you know where I stand.

031334Z JAN

SEAWARD:

//What happens to Forthright?

031334Z JAN

SCHOLAST:

//Okay, everyone has his piece of the pie to work. Let’s get to it. Out here.

BLUE DANUBE:

//Out.

The Threat
The Threat

From the bestselling author of The Circle, The Med, The Gulf, The Passage, Tomahawk, China Sea, Black Storm, and The Command… a heartstopping thriller of danger and conspiracy at the highest levels of command and government.Medal of Honor winner Commander Dan Lenson wonders who proposed that he be assigned to the White House military staff. It's a dubious honor — serving a president the Joint Chiefs hate more than any other in modern history.Lenson reports to the West Wing to direct a multiservice team working to interdict the flow of drugs from Latin America. Never one to just warm a chair, he sets out to help destroy the Cartel — and uncovers a troubling thread of clues that link cunning and ruthless drug lord Don Juan Nuñez to an assault on a nuclear power plant in Mexico, an obscure Islamic relief agency in Los Angeles, and an air cargo company's imminent flight plan across the United States.Lenson has to battle civilian aides and his own distaste for politics to derail a terrorist strike over the Mexican border. His punishment for breaking the rules to do so is to be sent to the East Wing… as the military aide carrying the nuclear "football," the locked briefcase with the secret codes for a nuclear strike, for a president he suspects is having an affair with his wife.And something else is going on beneath the day-to-day turmoil and backstabbing. As his marriage deteriorates and his frustration with Washington builds, Lenson becomes an unwitting accomplice in a dangerous and subversive conspiracy. The U.S. military is responsible for its Commander in Chief's transportation and security. If someone felt strongly enough about it… it would be easy for the president to die.

Чикатило. Явление зверя
Чикатило. Явление зверя

В середине 1980-х годов в Новочеркасске и его окрестностях происходит череда жутких убийств. Местная милиция бессильна. Они ищут опасного преступника, рецидивиста, но никто не хочет даже думать, что убийцей может быть самый обычный человек, их сосед. Удивительная способность к мимикрии делала Чикатило неотличимым от миллионов советских граждан. Он жил в обществе и удовлетворял свои изуверские сексуальные фантазии, уничтожая самое дорогое, что есть у этого общества, детей.Эта книга — история двойной жизни самого известного маньяка Советского Союза Андрея Чикатило и расследование его преступлений, которые легли в основу эксклюзивного сериала «Чикатило» в мультимедийном сервисе Okko.
