In this sequel to Mule Train to Afghanistan, Ralph´s new assignment, takes him to East Europe during the height of the Cold War. His life remains complicated and fast paced. The CIA has established teams to prepare East Europe countries for the eventual fall of the Iron Curtain. Ralph is assigned to the Romania team, which turns out to be the Soviet satellite to undergo the most violent transition. CIA operatives handling the Romania project are doing more than advising partisans, and Ralph is at risk in this dangerous mission, where Securitate, the KGB-clone organization, is well in control of the Romanian population. With no diplomatic immunity to protect him, Ralph’s only protection is his carefully crafted job as a carpet merchant and his quick wit. Once again, this Cuban exile finds himself in a sticky situation, or as his mother would have said an arroz con mango. If he makes it out alive, who knows what will be next for Ralph. He hopes that it will be the liberation of Cuba.
