CUBA LIBRE is a high-stakes military thriller following James Chase, a battle-tested Army CID agent assigned to protect the Secretary of Defense-until a covert CIA briefing pulls him into an operation that could change the Western Hemisphere. When CIA operative Maria Vasquez reveals Operation Cuba Libre, James learns the U.S. has been quietly supporting a growing Cuban resistance movement preparing to topple an oppressive regime. But the mission is suddenly in jeopardy: communications with the CIA team inside Cuba go dark, and evidence suggests the Cuban intelligence service is targeting dissidents and foreign nationals with mysterious directed-energy attacks. With time running out, Maria must enter Cuba under cover to locate the missing team and determine whether the final phase of the operation can proceed-smuggling weapons already hidden on the island and coordinating an island-wide uprising. James is brought in as her partner, and as they prepare for deployment, he's also drawn into the shadow world of the Knights Templar, a clandestine order operating alongside official power. From the corridors of the Pentagon to the jungles of Cuba, CUBA LIBRE delivers espionage, elite tradecraft, and relentless action-where loyalty is tested, secrets have a price, and freedom is never free.
