War in Cuba isn't Ben Tyler's concern. Still, sailing mares and guns into Havana harbor in 1898 - right past the submerged wreckage of the U.S. battleship Maine - may not be the smartest thing the recently prison-sprung horse wrangler ever did. Neither is shooting one of the local Guardia, though the pompous peacock deserved it.

Now Tyler's sitting tight in a vermin-infested Cuban stockade waiting to face a firing squad. But he's not dying until he gets the money he's owed from a two-timing American sugar baron. And there's one smart, pistol-hot lady at the rich man's side who could help Ben get everything he's got rightfully coming...even when the whole damn island's going straight to hell.

I am usually not a big historical fiction fan but the narrative and characters were brought to life. I enjoyed every page, at times I could not find myself wanting to put this book down. Leonard is a wonderful writer and this audible version really did the book justice.

Enjoyable Read!

Not as tight as his heyday, but still so propulsive and engaging. The best dialogue writer of all time.

Late career Elmore is still great.

Characters to love/hate woven masterfully into history. The naration also top notch. Leonard never disappoints.

Classic Elmore.

Elmore Leonard may be the greatest no frills writer ever. He never calls attention to his considerable gifts, which makes the audiobook experience even richer—especially when read by George Guidall, another master. Well worth full price, if you don’t have a subscription.

Deceptive ease

Cuba Libre is the prequel to Hot Kid and Up in Ruby's Room. It seems that Mr. Leonard has added more history than usual in this book and it's great. Guidall's narration is perfection.

However, I have to say between this book and the last few I've listened to, I have learned more about torture methods than I ever wanted to know.

Leonard + Guidall = great listening

Great story and narration. I’m a fan of both Elmore Leonard and George Guidall so it was enjoyable getting both of them together for this audiobook

Fun narrative with a history lesson imbedded in it
