PRAISE FOR THE CUBAN AFFAIR BY NELSON DEMILLE: "[An] action-packed, relentlessly paced thriller... A line from the novel perfectly describes this page-turner: 'Sex, money, and adventure. Does it get any better than that?'" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "DeMille's latest is a timely stay-up-all-night, nail-biting page-turner featuring his iconic tongue-in-cheek, articulate, rhythmic narrative. His affably irreverent protagonist, fantastic believable supporting characters, and tense, realistic Cuba-set scenes including some jaw-dropping revelations make this a must-read for his many fans." -- Library Journal (starred review) " The Cuban Affair feels authentic and real, and it provides knuckle-white tension mixed in with levity." --Associated Press "The opening of The Cuban Affair is dynamite--crisp, funny and dramatic--and the climactic conclusion is masterful action writing, fast, precise and genuinely gripping." -- Newsday "This is powerful, mythic stuff, like Confederate gold and Nazi treasure...As the true nature of the charter-boat owner's job becomes clear and the betrayals begin, DeMille mounts a long, magnificent sequence with boat chases, helicopter rescues, and tracer fire.
