Zero Option. Don Pendleton

СКАЧАТЬ They were almost there when a nighttime strike by enemies unknown destroyed the facility, the equipment and the personnel. By the time a rescue team arrived, the facility was totally destroyed. Everything. There were no survivors. The intensity of the explosions and the thermal devices used had reduced the place to ashes. Even the bodies were consumed to the point where it was impossible to make a count.

      “I have to mention something at this point,” the President added. “Saul Kaplan had removed himself from the project some time back. He lost faith in the whole thing, I believe now due to some conflict he had with the Air Force command. I didn’t learn about this until too late. He simply walked one day. Apparently he refused to do what they wanted. I had some heated discussions with the people involved and made it clear I wasn’t pleased with their behavior and attitude. But the damage was done, and we were too far along to abandon the project. I’m telling you this because I did speak to Kaplan some time later. He had taken a post as a lecturer in a Midwest university. Even though I apologized for the attitude of the Air Force, I was unable to persuade him to return.” The President smiled. “In the end Kaplan hung up on me. I took that as his final no.”

      “Is this a way of saying Kaplan might be involved in the strike against the facility, sir?” Brognola asked.

      The President shook his head. “This wasn’t revenge by a disgruntled ex-worker. Saul Kaplan is too much of a decent man to even consider something like this. Don’t forget that his protégé, Doug Buchanan, was at the facility. Kaplan wouldn’t do anything to hurt that man.”

      “Are there any theories on the strike force?”

      “Nothing yet. We believe it may be the work of some foreign organization that may have found out about the Zero project and was simply making an attempt to prevent it becoming a reality. There are nations who would feel unjustly threatened even by the thought of something like Zero watching over them. Think about it, gentlemen.”
