When
a faceless guerrilla fighter aligned with the resistance to overthrow
Castro is pitted against a clever and deceptive Soviet agent, the
result is a piece of historical fiction that masterfully blends fact
with the exciting story of Eduardo
Xiques, better known as Atcho. Exceptionally resourceful,
well-trained, capable—Atcho is fully equipped to take on the
mission assigned to him, that is until the safety of Isabel, his two
year old daughter, is threatened by Govorov, the Soviet agent who
will stop at nothing to gain information pertaining to Atcho's
identity and whereabouts. Now that Isabel has been kidnapped, Atcho
must navigate the treacherous trail leading to her rescue. But in
order to save her and fulfill his assignment, he must use all of his
specialized training in the process.
Curse
the Moon: Atcho Rises
is the latest suspenseful novel from author Lee Jackson. This is
historical fiction at its finest, thrilling and engaging as it takes
the reader along Atcho's journey into the tumultuous world of tenuous
national alliances, military reconnaissance, and the struggle for
political power. Jackson does a wonderful job of creating a real,
multi-dimensional, and dynamic character in the form of Atcho, and
his skill with weaving history into the framework of his stories is
always evident.
This
is a great reading selection for historical fiction fanatics,
especially those with a particular interest in Castro-era Cuba (think
Bay of Pigs specifically) and the oft-strained relationship between
the US and the Soviet Union. Curse
the Moon: Atcho Rises
