Between Two Fishermen: A Novella - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In this speculative work of literary fiction, Between Two Fishermen reimagines the Cuban Missile Crisis not as a moment narrowly averted, but in the days leading up to the apocalypse.

Rosie Mae, a surveillance agent posing as a foreign correspondent, walks the crumbling streets of Havana in the final days before impact. Pressed into new identities, she becomes Millie Forster: a woman drifting between covers, caught between governments, and steadily unraveling as the world prepares to collapse.

Across the island, Otis Loughty, a cold-eyed operative with loyalties on both sides, and Carson Whittaker, a haunted field agent searching for meaning after personal loss, are tasked with rooting out a traitor inside a covert nuclear installation. But as missiles are moved in secret and diplomatic timelines dissolve, each character begins to understand that the war is no longer theoretical — it is personal, and it is now.

With visceral prose and lyrical precision, Ava R. Mandel delivers a chilling vision of a world undone not only by politics, but by the private violence of ambition, grief, and betrayal.

Between Two Fishermen is a compact and devastating meditation on identity, state power, and what remains in the quiet after detonation.
