On his deathbed, Fidel tells his illegitimate daughter, Colonel Maria Leon, to solicit the help of Kirk McGarvey. She engineers the kidnapping of Louise, Otto Rencke's wife, to get Rencke to Cuba, knowing McGarvey will come to his rescue. The three of them determine that El Commadante wants them to find a long lost gold horde, turning this book into a Clive Cussler mystery with the wit and charm of Dirk and Al. Lots of deceit in the Cuban intelligence department, and McGarvey's harebrained scheme is ridiculous, including the President's blind acceptance. McGarvey #17 better be an improvement. ( ) I've read most of Hagberg's books, even the ones he wrote as Flannery, and I thought this was one of his worst books. I have liked all of his Kirk McGarvey books as they always had a good storyline and lots of action but, this one fell far short of my expectations. There was a hook at the end which leads one to think there is a sequel in the works. And on an aside, this was one of the worst proof-read books that I have ever read. There must have been at least 30 cases of wrong words, left -out-words and misused words. All making for an unpleasant read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Cuban Intelligence Service Colonel Maria Leon is called to the bedside of the dying Fidel Castro. She is his illegitimate daughter but has never been acknowledged by her father until now. Castro makes her promise to contact the legendary former Director of the CIA Kirk McGarvey to help her on a mysterious quest to find Cibola, the fabled seven cities of Gold. As the Cuban government unravels, Leon has to use every means at her disposal just to find the elusive McGarvey, all the while fending off men in her own Operations Division who want her job or her death. In desperation, Leon kidnaps McGarvey's closest friend, Otto Rencke, to force McGarvey's hand. Mac's meeting with Leon launches the most bizarre mission of his entire career that takes him from Cuba to Mexico City, to Spain and finally to an ancient site in New Mexico that the Spanish conquistadors called the Jornada del muerto--the Journey of Death. On the run from Cuban intelligence agents and blood thirsty Mexican drug cartel soldiers who will stop at nothing for a piece of the fabulous treasure, McGarvey struggles to decipher the truth buried in Leon's deception. The latest installment in David Hagberg's New York Times bestselling Kirk McGarvey series takes the former CIA director on another deadly international adventure.
