The Cuban Trilogy

review 1: The first of Noel Hynd's new trilogy starring Alex LaDuca. An entertaining spy thriller set mostly in modern day Cuba. His previous series with this character followed her through Kiev, Egypt, and Spain. His writing is very descriptive of her locale, almost as you're traveling along with her and seeing the sights. As with her other exploits, Alex relies on her christian faith to strengthen her through her ordeals. The only reason I gave this book three stars versus four, is that I felt towards the end of the book the plot was a little too predictable.
review 2: I know there are lots of 5 star ratings on this and maybe I would have given it a 5 star if...I had know to start out with the Russian Trilogy where the main character Alexandra LaDuca was introduce... mored. In Hostage in Havana, as things were mentioned about her past I felt left out, like I was missing some important events and didn't understand why the author was not explaining it more. Then at the end of the book I see the advertisements of the Russian Trilogy where it all starts with Alex. So, if you are reading this, please start with the Russian Trilogy and maybe you'll enjoy it more. Another thing with me is I love historical novels, but I don't like a lot of descriptions and this one was so full of historical history that it was too much for me. But the story line and the non-stop action was good. So, it just depends on what you like and where you start in the Alex LaDuca story...please start with the Russian Trilogy and then you may just love it. less
