In Dale Brown’s , intelligent machines take center stage as America battles the Russian mafia in Eastern Europe
Louis Massina is revolutionizing the field of robotics. His technological wonders are capable of locating disaster survivors, preventing nuclear meltdowns, and replacing missing limbs. After one of Massina’s creations makes a miraculous rescue, an FBI agent recruits him to pursue criminals running a massive financial scam — and not coincidentally, suspected of killing the agent’s brother. Massina agrees to deploy a surveillance “bot” that uses artificial intelligence to follow its target. But when he’s thrust into a dangerous conspiracy, the billionaire inventor decides to take matters into his own hands, unleashing the greatest cyber-weapons in the world and becoming the Puppet Master.
Автобиографическая книга, написанная Крисом Кайлом при сотрудничестве Скотта Макьюэна и Джима ДеФелис, вышла в США в 2012 г., а уже 2 февраля 2013 г. ее автор трагически погиб от руки психически больного ветерана Эдди Р. Рута, бывшего морского пехотинца, страдавшего от посттравматического синдрома.
Крис (Кристофер Скотт) Кайл служил с 1999 до 2009 г. в рядах SEAL — элитного формирования «морских котиков» — спецназа американского военно-морского флота. Совершив четыре боевых командировки в Ирак, он стал самым результативным снайпером в истории США. Достоверно уничтожил 160 иракских боевиков, или 255 по другим данным.
Успехи Кайла сделали его популярной личностью не только среди соотечественников, но даже и среди врагов: исламисты дали ему прозвище «аль-Шайтан Рамади» («Дьявол Рамади») и назначили награду за его голову.
В своей автобиографии Крис Кайл подробно рассказывает о службе в 3-м отряде SEAL и собственном участии в боевых операциях на территории Ирака, о коллегах-снайперах и об особенностях снайперской работы в условиях современной контртеррористической войны. Немалое место он уделил также своей личной жизни, в частности взаимоотношениям с женой Таей.
Книга Криса Кайла, ставшая в США бестселлером, написана живым и понятным языком, дополнительную прелесть которому придает профессиональный жаргон ее автора. Российское издание рассчитано на самый широкий круг читателей, хотя, безусловно, особый интерес оно представляет для «людей в погонах» и отечественных ветеранов «горячих точек».

EYE IN THE SKY
Cyclops One: America’s most advanced airborne laser system. Capable of taking out a dozen missiles and warplanes from three hundred miles away, it will change the face of combat forever — perhaps rendering war itself obsolete. Until the plane carrying it vanishes in a storm over the Canadian Rockies.
With the specter of sabotage — or something worse — looming over the entire operation, America’s top investigators are called onto the case. The best is Special Agent Andy Fisher, whose irreverent manner and unorthodox techniques have gained him the reputation as both a genius and a wild card within the FBI. As Fisher’s investigation deepens, more questions emerge about the laser, the hyper-secretive private agency that developed it, and the true motives of those involved in the Cyclops One project — a conspiracy that may end with the beginning of World War III….
