Out of Russia

In a quiet New Jersey laboratory filled with nautical instruments instead of typical chemistry gear, a reclusive Russian physicist has spent decades turning his back on a mysterious past. Professor Shishkin, now an eminent authority on the ocean’s secrets, lives a tranquil life with his daughter Olga, surrounded by charts, globes, and the soft hum of tide‑measuring devices. His routine is suddenly interrupted when a dark‑eyed stranger from Moscow arrives, bearing an urgent request that hints at a hidden brotherhood and a long‑forgotten connection to the professor’s own origins.

The visitor, Maxime Gorloff, claims ties to the enigmatic “House of the Seven Feathers,” a name that unsettles Shishkin and awakens memories he has deliberately suppressed. As the two men converse, the calm of the lab gives way to a sense that a larger, unseen force is pulling the professor back into a world of intrigue and danger. Listeners are drawn into a tale of scientific brilliance, secret societies, and the lingering echo of a past that refuses to stay buried.
