(“The Castro Gene” by Todd Buchholz, Oceanview Publishing, $24.95, 306 pages).
Fidel Castro, John F. Kennedy and a mixed cast of hundreds figure in this strange novel about DNA, Cuba and its revolution and a whole lot more. It is hard to describe this book without giving away the surprising twists and turns, so I won’t.
Just that a down-and-out boxer gets caught up in an international plot that for some unknown reason revolves around him. High finances and old history come together in a strange novel that will reel readers in tighter and tighter. How can you lay this book down?
There are so many Castro and Kennedy novels that one more seems too much. But this combination is different and worth the wait. Read it.
