PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Attention to Books of Interest

The Castro DirectiveThe Castro Directive: Stephen Mertz: Amazon.com: Kindle Store: The Castro Directive is an energetic thriller that will appeal to readers of Ken Follett and Jack Higgins. Cuba. 1961. An armed force of 1500 Cubans—trained, equipped and supported covertly by the CIA under direct White House sanction—is about to launch a massive military strike with the objective of overthrowing Fidel Castro. In Vietnam, Sergeant Graveyard Morgan is yanked from a Special Forces firebase and sent straight into the Cuban action to identify and eliminate a Castro spy. It’s a race against time that stretches from the Oval Office of President John F. Kennedy to the bloody hell battlefield that was The Bay of Pigs.
