Lee Jackson Brings Heat To The Cold War.

His code-name is Atcho. He leads guerrilla fighters through the US-supported insurgency that rages at the Bay of Pigs in the early days of Fidel Castro’s Cuba. Captured and cast into the island’s worst dungeons, Atcho learns that a phantom-like officer of the Soviet KGB shadows him. Inexplicably released from incarceration and still dedicated to his country, he battles through the bowels of the Kremlin in Moscow, into the granite halls at West Point, and finally to highest levels in Washington, DC. Atcho’s rise opens doors into US National Defense even as the seemingly omniscient KGB officer holds unflinching sway over his actions. His public life clashes with secrets that only he and his tormentor share, isolating him in a world of intrigue among people whom he is determined not to betray – and then he finds that he is the trigger that could spark thermonuclear war.

My Thoughts:

Wow. Wow. Wow.

This was quite the read. I found it to be long (not bad long, but longer than most books I have been reading) but it was such a great read!

It was filled with so many emotions, actions, mystery.

The book takes you through the life of Atcho including his imprisonment, his battles, his isolation, his mental aguish, and his freedom.

The entire book is filled with suspense as well as mystery as to who is in charge of everything that occurs. It was a definitely “who done it” type read that definitely through me for a loop (I didn’t figure it out until the book told me and even then, I was a little slow and didn’t put it all together!)

This is definitely a read that I can see both female and male alike enjoying and I highly recommend it!
