Download or read book Kill Zone written by Sgt. Jack Coughlin and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American general is captured in the Middle East by terrorists who threaten to behead him within days. One strange fact: moments before he is rendered unconscious during the attack, the general notices that his captors speak American English. What's going on? Gunnery Sgt. Kyle Swanson, a top Marine sniper, is vacationing on a yacht in the Mediterranean when he receives orders to mount a top secret mission to rescue the general. But as the Marines prepare to land in the Syrian desert, they fall victim to a terrible accident. Swanson, the only survivor, then discovers they were also flying into an ambush. How did the enemy have details of a mission known only to a few top American government officials? Swanson takes off across the desert alone to find the captured general and realizes he is fighting a particularly ruthless and dangerous enemy: American mercenaries working for a very-high-level group of U.S. officials with ties to the White House itself, part of a clandestine conspiracy whose hidden goal is nothing less than total control of the American military. Their sworn enemy is the captured general whose fate now rests in Swanson's hands. Filled with the kind of action that author Jack Coughlin lived during his career as a Marine sniper, Kill Zone marks the debut of an extraordinary new series.

Download or read book Kill Zone written by Craig Roberts and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, former U.S. Marie sniper Craig Robers, a seasoned veteran of the Vietnam war, stood for the first time at the 6th floor "sniper's nest" window of the Texas School Book Depository. As he looked down into what the U.S. Government maintains was the kill zone used by Lee Harvey Oswald, he immediately knew that the Warran Commission's verdict--that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone from that position, fired three shots in 5.6 seconds from a bolt-action rifle, with the fatal head shot being the last fired--was a lie. Why? Because Roberts, a combat experienced marksman, knew that he could not have duplicated Oswald's supposed feat--even if armed with the much more modern sniper rifle he used with devastating accuracy in Vietnam. At that moment, Roberts, a 20 year veteran police officer, investigator, and recognized authority on sniping, began an investigation that would last six years, take him into the shadow world of clandestine intelligence operations--and beyond--to discover the existence of a sinister organization that resides far above the CIA, KGB, the Mafia, and even government itself. An entity so powerful that, the elimination of a country's leader was little more than business as usual.

Download or read book Into the Kill Zone written by David Klinger and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's it like to have the legal sanction to shoot and kill? This compelling and often startling book answers this, and many other questions about the oft-times violent world inhabited by our nation's police officers. Written by a cop-turned university professor who interviewed scores of officers who have shot people in the course of their duties, Into the Kill Zone presents firsthand accounts of the role that deadly force plays in American police work. This brilliantly written book tells how novice officers are trained to think about and use the power they have over life and death, explains how cops live with the awesome responsibility that comes from the barrels of their guns, reports how officers often hold their fire when they clearly could have shot, presents hair-raising accounts of what it's like to be involved in shoot-outs, and details how shooting someone affects officers who pull the trigger. From academy training to post-shooting reactions, this book tells the compelling story of the role that extreme violence plays in the lives of America's cops.

Download or read book Kill Zone written by Kevin J. Anderson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power duo Kevin J. Anderson and Doug Beason team up in Kill Zone, a perilous disaster thriller for the modern age. Deep within a mountain in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a Cold War-era nuclear weapons storage facility is being used to covertly receive more than 100,000 tons of nuclear waste stored across the US. Only Department of Energy employee, Adonia, and a few others including a war hero, a senator, and an environmental activist, are allowed access to perform a high-level security review of the facilities. But Hydra Mountain was never meant to securely hold this much hazardous waste, and it has the potential to explode, taking with it all of Albuquerque and spreading radioactivity across the nation. This disaster situation proves all too possible when a small plane crashes at a nearby military base, setting off Hydra’s lockdown and trapping Adonia and her team in the heart of the hazardous, waste-filled mountain. Now, the only direction for them to go is deeper into the mountain, through the tear gas and into a secretive area no one was ever supposed to know about. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Ctrl Alt Play written by Matthew Wysocki and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word "control" has many implications for video games. On a basic level, without player control, there is no experience. Much of the video game industry focuses on questions of control and ways to improve play to make the gamer feel more connected to the virtual world. The sixteen essays in this collection offer critical examinations of the issue of control in video games, including different ways to theorize and define control within video gaming and how control impacts game design and game play. Close readings of specific games--including Grand Theft Auto IV, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Dragon Age: Origins--consider how each locates elements of control in their structures. As video games increasingly become a major force in the media landscape, this important contribution to the field of game studies provides a valuable framework for understanding their growing impact.
