Outgunning all others in the arena of razor-edged
action and sheer guts, New york Times bestselling
author Stephen Hunter plunges Earl Swagger deep into a
steamy underworld of power, politics, and
blood...
Cuba 1953: The island is on
fire.
The Mafia-run casinos are rolling, and it's just a
30-minute flight from Miami to a world of vice, gambling,

who want to keep their ally Uncle Sam happy. There's only

young revolutionary named Fidel Castro. With the Cold War
underway, the Soviet Union has sent a sophisticated veteran
agent to find and support the young upstart. To counter, the
CIA has summoned Medal of Honor-winning ex-marine Sergeant
Earl Swagger, whose heroic exploits have earned him the
reputation of a man who doesn't know how to lose. But he's
not just going to find Castro....
