| Combat vet Daniel Graham McCormick retired young. After an extended, bloody tour in the heartland of Afghanistan, the man set his sights on Key West, Florida. Now, his only tours are peaceful sunset cruises and deep-sea fishing charters as Captain of The Maine. It pays well enough, and he's become pals with Jack, a Vietnam vet, also semi-retired, and trusted first mate. But when a hot shot lawyer from Miami approaches Mac and Jack, with the desire to hire them for an illegal trip to Cuba, they're thrust back into high-stakes action. The job? Recover $60 million dollars hidden on New Year's Eve, 1959—just before Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and their Communist army took control of the country. It's buried somewhere in the caves outside Havana, but the lawyer's friend, Sara Ortega, has the map they need to get back her grandfather's gold. Exotic locales and people, increasing tension as characters sneak through the police state, and a page-turner ending, The Cuban Affair was an awesome summertime adventure. This is my first Demille book, but it definitely won't be the last. [JG] |
