Lee Jackson Brings Heat To The Cold War.
His code-name is Atcho. He leads guerrilla fighters through the US-supported insurgency that rages at the Bay of Pigs in the early days of Fidel Castro’s Cuba. Captured and cast into the island’s worst dungeons, Atcho learns that a phantom-like officer of the Soviet KGB shadows him. Inexplicably released from incarceration and still dedicated to his country, he battles through the bowels of the Kremlin in Moscow, into the granite halls at West Point, and finally to highest levels in Washington, DC. Atcho’s rise opens doors into US National Defense even as the seemingly omniscient KGB officer holds unflinching sway over his actions. His public life clashes with secrets that only he and his tormentor share, isolating him in a world of intrigue among people whom he is determined not to betray – and then he finds that he is the trigger that could spark thermonuclear war.

“Lee Jackson Delivers an Impressive Historical Fiction. If you like a healthy dose of history with your fiction, especially with regard to Castro-era Cuba (think Bay of Pigs specifically) and the oft-strained relationship between the US and the Soviet Union, then Curse the Moon: Atcho Rises is definitely for you.” John Berten
“Atcho is at his best…when taking names and kicking ass. Highly enjoyable…” ~ Kirkus Reviews
"Curse the Moon has it all, packaging its tense thriller in the cloak of understanding motivations both political and personal.
It's all about danger, sacrifice, and how even would-be romance bows to the pressure of a covert operator's obligations." D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
