In the same thread above, the poster justa33556 also told a story about how in the middle of nowhere, he heard a "clear," "full" voice saying “You asshole.” The book’s claims are made more credible by including a full 2.5h interview with the engineer Richard Schowengerdt who had been developing “electro-optical camouflage” under a project called “Project Chameleo.” ![]() "Chameleo" (2015) is a story about how the author's friend has been harassed by people who were quite invisible.

His History of the Russian Revolution (1930) became an essential work of reference: it was found among the books of Che Guevara in the Bolivian mountains.

When the San Francisco office demanded that all copy be vetted by them before publication, the staff left and Alan Marcuson (one of their number) set up Friends in 1969 , a national underground paper that initially aped the RS style and format, combining music, politics and culture, before gradually growing its own identity, look and feel.

Die Serie ist eher auf jüngere Leser ausgerichtet und mit mehreren Preisen ausgezeichnet worden. ![]() Leistungen: Susan Cooper ist durch ihre Jugendbuchserie Wintersonnenwende" (The Dark is Rising) bekannt geworden, in der sie Elemente der Artus-Sage mit keltischer Mythologie (Mabinogion) und eigenen Elementen zu einer spannenden Fantasy für Kinder verknüpft.

Presumably, this occurs just a year or two after "Phoenix Sub Zero" with Admiral Pacino now ComSubLant (Commander Submarine, Atlantic), although, he and the former Admiral Donchez, now Director of the NSA Donchez, have combined that position with ComSubPac into a Combined Submarine Commander - so, I'm guessing he's in charge of all the submarines now. DiMercurio knows what the hell he is doing with this story. So, of the four that I've read, I'd say that this is actually one of the better, if not best ones - although, that's like saying stale bread is the best kind of bread when all you have to compare it to is moldy bread. ![]() |
