The 14th Day will have you on the edge of your seat while tugging at your heart strings.
Stefan Adamek, a CIA spy based in Cuba in 1962, has grown weary of the espionage business. Although still yearning for revenge against Communists for killing his father, the loneliness that comes from working as a spy has begun to take its toll. But when he uncovers a plot by anti-Communist rebels to fire a Soviet missile at the U.S. mainland, he knows he must act - even if it means remaining in Cuba and risking his life.
Led by a disillusioned former friend of Fidel Castro, the rebels hope to trigger a U.S. invasion, topple Castro's regime, and install a democratic form of government. The stakes rise when a U-2 spy plane discovers Soviet missile sites under construction in the Cuban countryside, triggering the thirteen days known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
As Cuba's secret police close in on him, Stefan receives help from an unexpected source: Sara Sanabria, a beautiful, young widow pressured by Castro to support his regime, denounce her late husband, and become his lover. As the Cuban Missile Crisis heads toward war between the two superpowers, will Sara reach Stefan in time to save his life, and will Stefan prevent the rebels from shattering the negotiated peace?
The events of the fourteenth day will answer both questions.
