Synopsis:

Three decades after an arrogant island nation leader brings the world to the brink of destruction and is forced to back down, a group of men attempts to eliminate the aging dictator, unaware that he has a final card to play. Reprint.

Reviews: What if, during the Cuban missile crisis, Castro tucked one away and that same missile fell into the hands of revolutionaries against Castro three decades later? This is the premise of Pearson's new techno-thriller set amidst peace negotiations between the U.S. and Russia. The Americans promise to take responsibility for Russian radar air defense while the Russian system is being upgraded to U.S. standards. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a Cuban revolutionary who knows the missile's location is assassinated. While the FBI tries to track the missile and a commando team is sent in to defuse it, the Russians become suspicious of all the undercover work and the activation of sophisticated defense systems. Suspenseful and filled with precise descriptions of weaponry; will appeal to Tom Clancy's readers. Denise Perry Donavin
