Thriller

John Corey and Asad Khalil have both lived hard-knock lives. As revealed in Nelson DeMille's monster bestseller Plum Island, the gruff, wisecracking NYPD homicide cop Corey stopped a hail of bullets--but he couldn't stop his wife from walking out on him.

Asad, raised under Muammar Qaddafi's eye after his dad's murder, lost his surviving family in the 1986 bombing of Libya. He's heard the nasty rumors about his mom and the colonel, but he aims his rage at the infidels. The boy's got such a gift for terrorism he's earned the nickname "the Lion," and Boris, his vodka-sozzled, sex-addicted mentor, knows precisely how to conduct a murder tour of America one step ahead of the police, the FBI, the CIA, and the ATTF (Anti-Terrorist Task Force), which combines members of all three. A pity Boris must die, but hey, he's an infidel too.

Asad pretends to defect, handcuffed to agents aboard a 747 bound for JFK, and he proves to be a worse seatmate than a siding salesman. Corey and his ATTF colleagues (most conspicuously the FBI's sexy Kate Mayfield, Corey's match in badinage and bad-guy busting) strive to halt Asad's methodical yet unpredictable bloodbath.

Re: The Lion's Game

The game is exploiting popular recently the topic of space, and the plot
suspiciously recalls the film "Gravitation" three years ago: the main
character - an astronaut woman after the accident at the space station
is absolutely alone and forced to fight for survival using any improvised
means. If someone went to this movie in the cinema, then for sure you
must remember the sensations from the delightful beauty of what is
happening on the screen. ADR1FTcauses similar feelings - even without
Oculus Rift everything here is so beautiful that at first you simply
admire the surroundings. Take screenshots of space landscapes,
flavored with fragments of a destroyed station, you can almost without
interruption, without even bothering yourself with the choice of
exposure and setting the picture (here each frame is a small
masterpiece).

No doubt, with the graphics here, there is little to compare - and it's
not just about technology. Designers know their business no worse
than the developers of Unreal Engine 4, which was used when creating
ADR1FT . The snow-white surfaces of the station's elements, the vast
depth of space, the huge Earth, on the night side of which are visible
the lights of cities and the bands of the polar lights, mirror drops of
water in weightlessness ... The most beautiful game depicting space
technologyADR1FT for a long time.
