"From the legendary #1 New York Times bestselling author of Plum Island and Night Fall, Nelson DeMille's blistering new novel features an exciting new character--US Army combat veteran Daniel "Mac" MacCormick, now a charter boat captain, who is about to set sail on his most dangerous cruise. Daniel Graham MacCormick--Mac for short--seems to have a pretty good life. At age thirty-five he's living in Key West, owner of a forty-two-foot charter fishing boat, The Maine. Mac served five years in the Army as an infantry officer with two tours in Afghanistan. He returned with the Silver Star, two Purple Hearts, scars that don't tan, and a boat with a big bank loan. Truth be told, Mac's finances are more than a little shaky. One day, Mac is sitting in the famous Green Parrot Bar in Key West, contemplating his life, and waiting for Carlos, a hotshot Miami lawyer heavily involved with anti-Castro groups. Carlos wants to hire Mac and The Maine for a ten-day fishing tournament to Cuba at the standard rate, but Mac suspects there is more to this and turns it down. The price then goes up to two million dollars, and Mac agrees to hear the deal, and meet Carlos's clients--a beautiful Cuban-American woman named Sara Ortega, and a mysterious older Cuban exile, Eduardo Valazquez. What Mac learns is that there is sixty million American dollars hidden in Cuba by Sara's grandfather when he fled Castro's revolution. With the "Cuban Thaw" underway between Havana and Washington, Carlos, Eduardo, and Sara know it's only a matter of time before someone finds the stash--by accident or on purpose. And Mac knows if he accepts this job, he'll walk away rich"--… (plus d'informations)

3.5 stars. Classic DeMille. But nothing new or innovative. He has the same character types in every book. I do love them though. ( )

I’ve you’ve ever read my reviews before, you know I love me some DeMille. This one is no different. It definitely doesn’t go the route I expected it to go, but that’s not a complaint. Interesting story, fun read, hopefully set up for a sequel. ( )

This book was a fun adventure story but for lots of it nothing happens and then the end was copied from Captain Ron and was just so predictable. ( )
  zmagic69 | Mar 31, 2023 |
While not the thrillers Nelson has written in the past, the humor used in this story is outstanding especially for those who like the John Corey character in his other books. A wise ass, ex military charter fishing boat owner coupled with a mystery plot that unfolds in Cuba, its nicely paced and keeps you laughing even when tension builds. I'd rate it higher if the story was more exciting but I enjoyed it immensely due to the laugh out loud sarcasm. I'll always remember the 'henway' joke too. ( )
