Dire Straits — Mark Terry

It's 1991. Derek Stillwater, fresh out of Army Special Forces, is on his first undercover mission for the Central Intelligence Agency - infiltrate a pharmaceutical company in Cuba to determine if they are manufacturing biological weapons. Nothing in Cuba is as it seems - and neither is Derek's mission. Soon Derek is on the run from Cuban intelligence with only one avenue of escape - a stolen kayak, heading into the teeth of a storm on the Straits of Cuba.
