Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-10 00:00:00 Ralph Martins Enjoyable, but not very challenging in terms of grappling with political or ethical issues. Interesting to read in light of Castro's recent death. Most funny line by main character in response to Che Guevara's question as to how much money the CIA spent on the failed Bay of Pigs invasion was, "Not enough." Guevara was treated almost sympathetically in view of his idealism, while Castro made to look like a power-hungry dictator with no concern outside of the pragmatic job of making the revolution "work" and maintaining superiority. Probably pretty accurate portrayals.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-31 00:00:00 Michael Azzarello At the time I read these novels (the late 1980's and early 1990's), I found them to be pretty good... sort of a cross between Matt Helm and James Bond. Not quite up to Ian Fleming's standards, but not quite as dated by then either.
