"Castro's Bomb" is, quite simply, the mature work of an author just really coming into his powers.  Anyone who left Conroy after his rather juvenile "1901" needs to give him another look.  He has been steadily improving, and nowhere is this more evident than in this, his first ebook.  Like the best alternate history, this book pulls you in by giving you believable characters, sound interpretations of real historical characters, and lots of action.  You leave it with a much better understanding of the forces behind the "real" history of the period.  I was given new insights into the Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy Assassination, and the complex social dynamics of twentieth century Cuba.  It was an excellent read!
