But when he delivers a mysterious woman to a mission boat destined for Cuba, things start going downhill quick.

Buck has nothing but ingenuity to save his skin and the lives he put in peril ... and prevent a war with America's longest-running enemy ... When you see the world through Buck Rei...
Buck Reilly's in Jamaica and back in the treasure hunting business--until some old enemies ace him out.

The conclusion will leave you breathless and change Buck's life forever.

From the reviews: "About 30 years ago, when I was a student, the first book on combinatorial optimization came out referred to as "the Lawler" simply.

The box is offered for less than 90.- EURO, which to my opinion is one of the best deals after the introduction of this currency." OR-Spectrum
