Cuban Sliders: A Max Calder Spy-Fi Mystery

By: Bentley, Alexander

1951, Cuba and the Grenadines. The third installment in the acclaimed and award-winning Bureau Archives Trilogyshows that time is no longer behaving itself.

When a Soviet scientist from a Cuban rum distillery is found in Havana, grotesquely aged, former Bureau operative Max Calder is dragged back into a world he thought he'd escaped. The Mirror - an experimental technology capable of fracturing time - has returned, no longer as a single machine, but as a growing web that entangles minds as easily as moments.

As Calder and Alicia Rayes uncover the truth, they discover a terrifying spinoff: Decision Locking, a process that removes dissent and collapses debate until only one future remains - clearing the path for, among other outcomes, a coming Cuban coup.

Caught between Soviet pursuit, CIA ambition, and betrayal from within British intelligence, Calder must decide whether the Mirror can be contained-or erased entirely.

Cuban Sliders is a noir-inflected Cold War thriller about memory, power, and the danger of a world where certainty arrives too soon.

Some technologies change history.

This one decides it.
