But even in a Church Ritter knows he can reach well beyond the choir.

Unfortunately so could an assassin's bullet - and he won't just be on Ukraine's kill-list, that's for sure.

PS. bizarre that Ritter has given one of his new books the same title - "The Scorpion King" - as a moronic 2002 movie-blockbuster starring Dwayne "The Rock Brain" Johnson. The film and Johnson embody almost the polar opposite of everything that Ritter stands for and fights for.

(Note: "Ritter" = 'Knight' in German. As in heroic Knight in Shining Armour on horseback - not a Silly Sir with a Knighthood)
