The Starke series' fourth novel finds two nations facing a Caribbean war that could flame across Europe. The Cuban Junta will accept nothing less than independence, both countries' war parties drive reluctant administrations, and reconcentrados are dying by the thousands from disease and starvation. A desperate Spain proclaims autonomy, sets up a new island government, and tries to negotiate with insurrectos while continuing military operations that have become a violent stalemate where either side might prevail but neither win. Junta filibuster expeditions continue smuggling arms and men while Spanish, Cuban, and American newspapers place agenda over truth. Clara Barton is asked to bring her Red Cross to save lives and the battleship Maine enters Havana unannounced to promote national interests and serve as safe haven. While American ships deliver relief supplies, a severely wounded Calypso endures shipyard repairs in Newport News under her executive officer. Starke is allowed to retain command but sent to Havana where Consul-General Lee must deal with an activist press, nationalist riots, confusing direction, and an increasingly hostile city.
