The Cuban Affair: A Novel by Nelson DeMilleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Cuban Affair by Nelson DeMille
September 2017
I received this soft cover ARC from GoodReads giveaway and Simon & Schuster in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first book by Nelson DeMille that I've had the pleasure to read. An extraordinary writer with witty, daring and interesting characters. Daniel Graham MacCormick, "Mac" for short is a 35 yr old, Army vet surviving two tour of Afghanistan. He settles in Key West to run a deep-sea fishing charter boat, The Maine, which he named for his home state.
Life is calm and relaxing running his charter boat with the assistance of his friend, Jack, a retired Vietnam vet. Until one day, he receives an unexpected visit from Carlos, a Miami lawyer involved with anti-Castro groups. Soon, he is presented with an offer too good to be true. All he has to do is agree to help an older exiled Cuban, Eduardo retrieve some documents and $60 million dollars from a cave in Havana.
Although an extremely dangerous proposition he is heavily persuaded by his $3 million payment and the seductive Sara Ortega who provides the cover story to get them into Cuba. The story is filled with adventure and suspense. The story is rich with authentic details which must have required extensive research. I can't wait to read more books by this author.
