About Shiro Project (Le project Shiro), The (Consortium Thriller)

Product Description Can a lone man stop mass destruction looming from the past? Reporter Branislav Poborsky is running away from a bad marriage, when he witnesses the Czech army covering up the extermination of an entire village. Saved in extremis by the gentle-giant Mossad agent Eytan Morgenstern, he is thrown into a troubling race to defuse a larger-than-life conspiracy. After Eytan's mentor is kidnapped, he must join forces with his arch-rival to put an end to a mysterious group that has weapons of mass destruction. Once again, the atrocities of World War II come back to haunt the modern world. What links exist between Japanese camps in China in the 1940s, a US Army research center in the 1950s, and the deadly threat Eytan faces today? From Prague to Tokyo, with stops in Ireland, yesterday's enemies become today's best allies and mankind seems on the verge of repeating the errors of the past. What can a lone man do against the madness that is bound to follow? About the Author Born in 1969, novelist David S. Khara has been living in Brittany since the 1980s. During his high school years, he discovered the French literary classics, and after studying law and working for a time as a notary, he became a journalist and ad writer. In 1993, he started his own company, where he would go on to work for 16 years before finally leaving in 2009 to become a full-time writer. He was an instant success, publishing in 2010 the novel Le Projet Bleiberg (Critic), the first volume of a trilogy. Following its success, the story was turned into a comic book in 2016 by Serge Le Tendre and Frédéric Peynet (Dargaud 2016; The Bleiberg Project, Europe Comics 2017). Another of the author's books, Vestiges de l'aube, was also adapted by the same duo in 2015 (Dargaud).
