Soon one of them begins a dangerous double existence in a life-and-death operation that consumes intelligence agencies from Moscow to Washington, DC.

As secret allegiances are made and broken, Dominika and Nate’s game reaches a deadly crossroads. As the action careens between Russia, Finland, Greece, Italy, and the United States, Dominika and Nate soon collide in a duel of wills, tradecraft, and-inevitably-forbidden passion that threatens not just their lives but those of others as well. Dominika learns these techniques of “sexpionage” in Russia’s secret “Sparrow School,” hidden outside of Moscow. Spies have long relied on the “honey trap,” whereby vulnerable men and women are intimately compromised. Ordered against her will to become a “Sparrow,” a trained seductress, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a young CIA officer who handles the Agency’s most important Russian mole. In present-day Russia, ruled by blue-eyed, unblinking President Vladimir Putin, Russian intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in the post-Soviet intelligence jungle. Report to the 77th Legislative Assembly.In the grand spy-tale tradition of John le Carré comes this shocking thriller written with insider detail known only to a veteran CIA officer. This work has been completed by local engineers, researchers, and those at prominent universities on the west coast. The models are often updated with new data and science as earthquakes happen, research continues, and technology changes. We are also looking at recent examples of subduction zone earthquakes and affected cities that share similar distances from the fault line or rupture zone, such as Tokyo, Japan and Santiago, Chile.īased on local data from our known faults and data collected during other similar earthquakes around the world including California, Mexico, Chile, and Japan, engineers and geologists have been studying and developing shaking models over the last several decades.

Geological Survey Science data and modelling. To get a better understanding of what we would experience locally from a major Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, we are working with a team of experts that include local geotechnical and structural engineers that are licensed and work in the northwest to develop anticipated shaking levels based on soils at the site, U.S. Video of Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake Simulation
