Alternate history is not usually an area I enjoy reading but DuBois wrote such an excellent novel that I could hardly put it down. The tale twists the Cuba/Kennedy administration debacle into a tragedy that destroys several cities in our country as well as devastating Cuba, Russia, and other countries. Living under a dictator and in tightly controlled society, a reporter for the Boston Globe stumbles over a story that could change the history of the country. An old man, a veteran like himself, gives Carl a list of names of men who worked in the Kennedy administration. All have died one after another, some murdered and others in accidents. As Carl searches for answers he meets a beautiful British woman reporter with whom he falls in love. Carl finds himself in one life threatening situation after another as he tries to unravel the mystery. The two search for answers together until Carl finds his lover is a British spy who may be working contrary to our country's interests. The plot is fascinating and twists many ways. The only issue I found difficult to believe was that groups of people were living in the cities that were bombed. Who is telling the truth and who is filling his ears with lies? The reader must race to the end of the novel to find the answers.
