About this audiobook

Harry Manning fled Cuba for the Bahamas to escape the chaos of the Revolution; to find solace in a bottle of rum and comfort in the arms of his girlfriend, Maria. But when Cuban terrorists bomb a plane in which Maria is traveling, Manning’s quest for a separate peace gives way to a thirst for vengeance.

To take down the terrorists, Manning must navigate the web of betrayal and intrigue that threatens to renew a nuclear standoff.

    Not a bad little thriller. I just never know how to approach these books that are thirty to forty years old to know whether they really feel like you're immersed in the culture, since the plots always seem simplistic compared to today's books. The characterization is fine and the characters are fleshed out nicely considering the shortness of the book, but how seriously can you take the sort of adventure where people bust out of prison cells three and four times? I just can't buy it, but if you can suspend your disbelief it's a fun read, and of course thepaperback is small enough to stick into a bag or pocket and pull it out to read when there's time.
