The Last Circle

[David Guyatt]

TO: David Guyatt

FROM: Cheri Seymour

Greetings David:

I wish I was as prolific a writer as you are! What are you working on now?

The Last Circle first draft manuscript on the Internet contains only 15 chapters, whereas the published BOOK contains 25 chapters. The last ten chapters give a better explanation of the Octopus. The book went into print in September 2010 and can be purchased at Amazon.com, or through any major book store.

In answer to your question about Michael Riconosciuto's visit to Alice Springs with Robert Booth Nichols, I was never able to get Riconosciuto to give further details of that trip to the Pine Gap facility. Robert Booth Nichols (who worked for the NSC/NSA at that time) was vague and secretive about it also. I simply quoted Riconosciuto's remarks about it into the book, and that's all I've ever had on that visit that ended their relationship.

Wish I could offer more --- It's still a mystery to me also.

Hi Cheri, and thanks for your kind words. I'm now retired and no longer conducting active research -- but simply transforming myself into a grumpy old man (most fitting and agreeable it is too!).

It's very good news to hear that your excellent book now totals 25 chapters!

It's a shame (but understandable) about the Alice Springs mystery -- my nose has been twitching about this for years. What could make Riconosciuto so sensitive I wondered? It had to be something pretty rotten I should think. As Peter suggests, its likely to be something unconnected to NSA's primary job as electronic snooper extraordinaire. But it is pointless to try and guess. One day perhaps something might filter out.

Best wishes,

David
