Ted Bell's Hawke is an adventure-filled novel of espionage and intrigue. Bell writes very much in the mold of Clive Cussler, with a wealthy, world-traveling hero fighting crime as a hobby. The story involves a plot by three Cuban brothers to seize Cuba from Castro and then, with the help of a secret Russian sub, to hold the world at bay. It turns out that these three brothers are the same people who killed Hawke's parents when he was a child, while he looked on from a secret cabinet in their family's yacht. So Hawke's defeat of the plot is also a personal vindication.
The book was a fun read, with many ups and downs and lots of adventure, though it was often pretty far fetched, again, in the mold of Clive Cussler. But an enjoyable romp, none the less.
