Stephen’s seven newest novels: a coup in Cuba, a seaport attack, a human bioweapon, a war over the Nile, a stolen jet, a reactor siege and a microbe turned weapon.

FIRST IN THIS GROUP
A coup in Cuba. A buried secret. A nation on the brink.
A Cuban colonel, disillusioned with the state of his country’s military, confronts Castro, kills him, and takes command of the island. He expects the Cuban people to support his takeover. Instead, a civilian army rises against his troops. As the struggle for control intensifies, a secret left over from the Cuban Missile Crisis draws the United States into a confrontation with consequences far beyond Cuba.
