Summary: "Good, But Not One Of Coonts' Best"
Comment: All I have to say is, I want more Jake & Toad & Rita! While I enjoyed "Cuba," I was disappointed that these three characters I've enjoyed for years were relagated to a secondary role in the book. I thought Coonts did a good job handling the trials of the Sedano family as the power struggle after Castro's death begins (btw, I thought Castro died in "Under Seige." Did he get better or something). Some of the best parts involved Ocho with the boat people fleeing to America. Coonts really brought out the desperation and hopelessness of their situation. The Secret Police Chief Vargas was a pretty nasty fellow, and I thought there was some good spy stuff with the CIA guys Chance and Carmellini. Coonts did put together some solid combat scenes toward the end when Grafton led his carrier battle group against Cuba's biological ballistic missiles aimed at the Southern United States. Loved the parts involving Cuba's lone flyable MiG-29.
All in all, a good book, but not up there with classic Grafton stories like "Under Seige" & "The Red Horseman."
Rating: 5
Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Comment: I read it in just one weekend. It's a good story, packed with action and subplots to keep the reader's interest until the end. It was great to find Jake, Toad and Rita again, after all these years. I only wish they had appeared in more central roles. I think Toad has grown as a character in "Cuba", though.
The development of the characters in Cuba, as well as all the Steve Coonts' previous novels, is the best I've ever seen.
Reading about Jake, Toad and Rita again is like reading about old friends.
A great book for all the Jake Grafton serie lovers.

Summary: "Good not Great !"
Comment: I thought "Cuba," by Stephen Coonts was a good story (not great) but still interesting enough. Military action meets political fiction. I did like the characters and the suspense.
