Annotation

"In nineteen sixty-one the Cold War glowed red-hot." Twenty-one year old college student Jimmy Donlin accepted a job offer for a trip "down south," filling a slot left vacant by a technician lost in the Bay of Pigs Invasion a few weeks earlier. Three weeks later he found himself low man on the totem pole of a nine man team of "independent contractors" and in way over his head. Camped on a sandy beach in Panama, their backs to a tangled rain forest, they are confronted by Cuban insurgents, Russian gunboats and a team of American photographers who thought Donlin's group was there to provide cooking and laundry services. Then their quarry showed up and events turned deadly serious.
