In life, the journey is the reward. Old Timer certainly has had a journey through this life. For nearly forty years he has been both a geek and an assassin. Despite someone at his company having given him the contract decades ago, nobody there actually knew what he did, just that the client paid. Had he told anyone about it, especially his coworkers, they would have laughed in his face.
Since late January, 1992, he has kept a secret . . . and souvenirs. Secrets were common currency in his world, but souvenirs were against company policy and strictly forbidden.
Presented as a novel. Any names, dates, events or places that happen to exist in the world you know are strictly coincidental. Take the journey that is about to start. Find out how Ukraine saved the world from nuclear war in 1992 and what they did then is still saving it today.
What goes up doesn't always come down.
Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava!
bon appétit
Reviews
War is scary enough, the possibility of nuclear war is terrifying.
It's a work of fiction, but it reminds us that the crooked timber of humanity is on full slanted display through the current climate of world affairs.
The author aims to inform us through bone chilling narrative and harrowing facts.
These events have lived rent free in my mind long after I've finished, and I remain haunted by his description of the strategies and tactics employed during the course of this book.
The best word to describe this was eye-opening. You won't soon forget it and you will wonder what else has been swept under the rug.

"Twenty of Two - The Infamous They” is a daunting novel in size, but it really is fascinating and entertaining in equal measures.
The story is fast paced and quickly engaging – we are a bit in the past, but not to distant that you don't understand the landscape or time. We are however deeply into Ukraine and wars and politics so if you are not as familiar with those things, it will take a bit for you to understand.
The author does a great job of really delving into political and historical themes and really making the reader contemplate what has happen and even what could happen.
We are given such believable characters, moments, and settings all heightened by the way the author shared the descriptions and kept the pacing steady.
Uncover some government and political secrets and be fascinated along the way.

An incredibly different kind of from not so distant history story where the narrative is layered and the escalation is convincingly done.
The author writes knowledgably about the place and time.
Plot, characters, and circumstances all worked. Excellent suspense thriller.
This novel puts forth a scenario that is very believable. It really makes you contemplate what the government hides and what major things we never know about.
