A fresh look

This book blends action and suspense with the current conditions that are occurring right across the U.S. border. Duncan kept me reading for hours on end on what would happen next. Excellent!

Outstanding fiction

Duncan spins quite a tale in "Patriot Trap". This is far better than most spy novels as it provides a fascinating description of the Cuban story while it weaves the charaters through a twisting course of conspiracy. I really enjoyed this book and hope the author follows up with more in this unique genre.
