Conflicting Loyalties

War hysteria quickly possesses average citizens and policy makers alike. Thousands of U.S. servicemen prepare to risk death in a massive invasion of Cuba to defend American national security and honor. A century after a similar incident also triggered war over Cuba, history appears on the verge of repeating itself with perverse symmetry.

Then Alina Rubio, a Cuban-American reporter for a Miami newspaper, uncovers a grotesque scheme of greed and corruption that endangers the lives of thousands and the future of a nation.

The experience puts Rubio through a trial by fire that challenges her professional ethics and personal loyalties. Also tested on issues of loyalty to country and principles are an election-bound United States president, media executives and other power brokers in government and business.

Conflicting Loyalties unreels a tale of grand-scale intrigue and power lust in a political thriller as gripping as tomorrow's headlines.
