Shell Game
by Douglas Terman
Publisher: Poseidon Press
Copyright 1985
Book Club Edition
A powerful, high-voltage thriller set in Cuba during the revolutionary turmoil of the early sixties and the countdown to the missile crisis, Shell Game invites comparison with the best of Frederick Forsyth and Ken Follett. Combining political espionage and high-action adventure with a moving tale of two brothers divided by love and war, it exposes what may have been in reality the most deadly deception of the nuclear age.
George Brocassie and his adoptive brother Julio Alvarez fought together during the Cuban revolution. Both men loved their fellow revolutionary Alicia Helvia, but all three were separated in the bloody chaos of the guerrilla war. Alvarez, now Castro's top intelligence man, has turned double agent for the KGB. And Brocassie is returning to Cuba on a daring mission for the CIAm to gather intelligence on the mysterious Russian installation presided over by Alvarez.
They were once comrades-in-arms. Now they are divided by far more than politics. For the Russians have devised a diabolical game that will pit brother against brother, using Alicia as the bait. At stake is nothing less than the ultimate nuclear showdown. Win or lose, each man will be asked to pay a dreadful price for victory.
The most explosive thriller in years, Shell Game is riveting reading; superbly written, exciting, frighteningly real, it marks Douglas Terman's emergence as a master of suspense.
