A really fun read.
This book was fast starting, and held my attention the whole way! The characters were very real and likeable, and the book was action packed.

Classic Rodney Page; intrigue, pace, and whit.
It’s difficult to tell which smells worse, the steaming, rotting jungles of Cuba, or the goings on inside the Washington D.C. Beltway. Page brings both to life and let’s the readers decide. Siblings Cinni and Bud Smythe face all the snakes and dangers that both environs offer, not surprisingly finding more snakes in D.C.
A very entertaining read coupled with slightly depressing civics lesson.
This is very much a story of our times, well researched, well told, and well written.
