When Fidel and Raúl Castro lead a revolt from the mountains above the cane plantation, torching the sugar and kidnapping a boat full of "yanqui" revelers, K.C.

and Everly begin to discover the brutality that keeps the colony humming.

With urgent news conveyed by telex, Kushner's first novel is a haunting and compelling tour de force that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
