In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth

In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth is a book written by Nastasha Romanenko. The book details both, from her point of view, the events of the Shadow Moses Incident and her relationship with Richard Ames.

The book reveals many details about the story, such as the arrest of Jim Houseman, Ames's involvement with The Patriots, and Naomi Hunter's whereabouts following the FOXHOUND Rebellion. It revealed as well that Liquid Snake was in fact awared of the Patriots (having threatened them on the phone), implying his hostile intentions toward them (presumably because of their involvement in the Les Enfants Terribles project).

The full text of the book is included as a special feature in Metal Gear Solid 2. It can be read in the Previous Story section of the Special menu after reading (or simply scrolling through) the two preceding texts, a New York Mirror review of the book and The Shocking Conspiracy Behind Shadow Moses article. It is mentioned ingame only once after the Harrier boss battle in Metal Gear Solid 2 by Raiden, who was then ridiculed by the Colonel AI on the subject. After the book was published, Nastasha disappeared again.
