From someone who has walked the campus of LSU and lived and worked in the Middle East, much of what was discussed rings true with the thought provoking idea of what could happen in our hemisphere if Cuba is left unchecked.

I'm sorry but I can't subscribe to the enthusiastic reviews I've read on this book. To me, it was a huge disappointment and I regret buying it on account of these reviews. This disappointment resides on several levels. First, the author seems bent on vindicating the U. Don't get me wrong: Removing this Saddam character from power was a good thing to do. Anyway, it was based on an assumption which has been proven wrong shortly after the war, i. Nevertheless, the author stubbornly supplies the "reason" for that: The WMD had been there but had been relocated to Syria.

And the Syrians just let that happen - yeah, right Second, the "Coalition of the Evil" the author assumes: Cuba, islamic terrorists, North Korea; in other words: President Bush's well-known "axis of evil" cum Cuba, no less. And the whole thing organized and funded just like Global Terrorism, Inc. An ex-Cuban Navy lieutenant commander, an intelligence specialist at that, who, just so, turns to supporting the U.

Navy and the U. Third, the story itself.

It has to be a worldwide conspiracy to bring down the Realm of the Good, i. Even more, there has to be a love story involving a U. Navy lieutenant commander and a Cuban girl, a sports functionary - yeah, right Ever thought of just how politically reliable functionaries in communist countries have to be if they want to stand a remote chance of serving abroad, let alone, in a western country?! Ever read about Art. And all of it has to fit in just pages. This forces the author to shortcut on every single trait which could have turned the story into something resembling an interesting plot: The author always "explains", delivers a lecture, rambling page after page after page on the Big Picture as he sees it instead of letting the story develop and action take place.

Never allow the reader to find out a connection or draw a conclusion by himself - always drop the point of the story on him like a brick! If you want to read a story that really develops, read Tom Clancy's "Executive Orders" or "Sum of all Fears" - and you know why such a story won't fit into just pages.

On the other hand - the only field in which the author is supposed to be an expert, i. Navy warship, the weaponry, technical, and military details, remains almost barren: Just in very few pages this knowledge kind of appears like sporadic sunrays cutting through a leaden sky. What could have become of the story had the author concentrated on the subjects he is an expert in! No, sir - that wasn't fun. One person found this helpful.

Lanier Yeates's first novel is a taut thriller that draws on his military experience and legal background. The story is about a race to stop a deadly--and frighteningly realistic--terroristic attack of the sort a Saddam Hussein would try. Another thing I really enjoyed was Yeates's wry and subtle political commentary, which peppers the novel.

In this, it reminded me of one of the best thriller writers of all time, Nelson DeMille.

The colorful characters--such as "Hoss" Mueller--are also done very well. One thing I have noticed in some thrillers and other novels is a glaring lack of attention to various police, weaponry, technology, and military details by the author; these essential details are often glossed over, probably in many cases because the author does not know enought about it to incorporate into the story. Yeates's yarn does not have this drawback.

His obvious familiarity with the military especially the Navy and modern defense technology infuses the novel with a sense of realism that really helps propel the story along. This is a fun and timely novel, and maybe even eye-opening for some. I am always delighted when I am so pleased to find such a good novel from a first-time author, because we know we have more good stuff to come. Thumbs up, way up!

Yeates high-tech thriller titled Bay of One Hundred Fires. From Iraq to Syria to North Korea to Cuba the face of terror knows no bounds in its diabolical schemes. WOMD are as transportable as evil thoughts in the minds of men.

The only question is whether an unlikely but very believable cast of characters from a simple Cuban family, to Captain Mueller, to a couple of military "buds" from the Bayou State, can save the day. At the very least it will take enormous skill, luck, courage and bravery to face the dark force of evil and prevail. Yeates has done his homework and has provided his characters with the latest, most innovative technology to assist them in their battle.

And what a battle it will be! Reader, listen to me:
