<b>“By far the most enjoyable thriller of the season.” -- <i>Chicago Tribune</i>.</b><br /><br /><i>One man can stop the countdown to a new world war.</i><br /><br /><br />The Soviet Union has based its new bombers, the Blackjacks, in Cuba. With their stealth technology and cruise missiles with the capacity to destroy a third of American cities, the American president has demanded their immediate removal. But the Soviets decide to risk a replay of the Cuban Missile Crisis. <br /><br />American intelligence agencies launch a clandestine operation to rid Cuba of the Blackjacks.<br /><br />William Maurice, whose CIA career was destroyed by the Bay of Pigs, is head of a clandestine operation to recruit a Cuban American in Miami for a Fidel Castro impersonation. This provokes the Russians to set loose KGB agents in Havana and Miami to root out the plot and murder Maurice. A Cuban Bomber Crisis becomes the worst case scenario if Maurice fails to switch the imposter out before the clock ticks down to zero.<br /><br />"If Frederick Forsyth and Tom Clancy had written <i>Our Man in Havana</i>, they couldn't have done a better job than James Stewart Thayer has done with <i>Ringer</i>." -- <i>San Diego Union.</i><br />
