149. Reich Christopher. The First Billion: A Novel. - New York: Bantam Dell, 2009. - 579 p.

От издателя: Money makes the world go round for Jett Gavallon, a high-tech entrepreneur who's on the brink of bringing a Russian telecom startup to market with an IPO worth billions. But when his best friend and second-in-command disappears after Gavallon sends him to Moscow to make sure the new company is on the up and up, Jett begins to have second thoughts, which are exactly what his Russian partners can't afford. Beset by an FBI task force looking into Mercury Broadband's financing by Russian mobsters, rumors of fraud being circulated by a Drudge-like online financial gossip columnist, and the discovery that his former lover is not who he thought she was, Jett puts his fortune on the line in a desperate attempt to save his company--and ultimately, his life. An exciting, fast-paced adventure by an author who puts his experience in international banking to work in the service of this carefully plotted thriller.

150. Reilly Matthew. AREA 7. - New York: St.Martin's Paperbacks, 2003. - 507 p.

От издателя: Reilly, the pedal-to-the-metal action novelist from Australia, returns here with yet another inelegant yet oddly invigorating rip-snorter about what else world domination. The setting this time is Area 7, a top-secret military outpost in the barren outback of Utah where government scientists are trying to perfect a new vaccine that will protect Americans from the Sinovirus, a deadly disease invented by the Chinese to kill everyone on Earth except themselves. A rogue air force general, the evil Caesar Russell, has other plans, however. During a visit by the president of the United States, Russell and his band of elite mercenaries capture Area 7. Their aim: kill the president, take over the country and use the Sinovirus to poison all but members of the white race. But Marine Capt. Shane Schofield isn't going to let that happen. With his usual mix of unflagging bravery and superhuman strength Schofield starred in Reilly's 1999 American debut Ice Station the relentless Marine and his tight group of highly competent sidekicks battle Russell on land, water and in space. As is Reilly's style, the action moves at a scenery-blurring pace, and his third novel (following last year's Temple) can make for exhausting reading. He employs just about every tactic both clever and crude to keep the suspense afloat. Character development is nil, and dialogue is at times comic-strip bad. Yet the sheer frenzy of Reilly's approach can inspire awe. How many heroes, after all, can kill an enemy aboard the space shuttle in outer space, then return to earth and dispatch another foe by pushing him into a pool full of meat-eating Komodo dragons all over the course of less than an hour? Speed demons, take note. Author tour.

151. Reilly Matthew. Seven Deadly Wonders. - New York: Pocket Books, 2006. - 547 p.

Аннотация: Солнечный камень - гигантский золотой слиток, некогда венчавший Великую пирамиду Гизы. За 323 года до нашей эры он был разбит на семь частей, а его обломки спрятаны в древних памятниках, известных, как Семь чудес света. Согласно легенде, однажды настанет день, когда тому, кто успеет собрать воедино все куски Солнечного камня, будет дарована власть над миром...

Прошли века. И этот день - все ближе. Охота за фрагментами Солнечного камня начинается. Но кто соберет их первым? Агенты враждующих спецслужб? Наемники преступных синдикатов? Или команда отчаянного искателя приключений Джека Уэста?

Аннотация: Зимний Нью-Йорк начала 1990-х. Именно сюда приводит вампира Лестата след одного из крупнейших наркодельцов Америки. На одной из тайных, принадлежащих мафиози квартир, где преступник хранит ценнейшее собрание антикварных религиозных предметов, происходит их роковая встреча. Роковая и для Лестата, и для его жертвы. Ибо за ними незримо наблюдает сам Мемнох-дьявол, выбравший вампира Лестата себе в помощники, чтобы совместно противостоять Богу.
