The Observation Post

by Allen M. Steele

In 1962, Ensign Floyd Moore is the communications officer for the blimp Centurion patrolling the Caribbean for Russian shipments of nuclear missiles to Cuba. But what he and his lieutenant stumble upon on the larger Inagua island couldn’tpossibly be Russian technology.
The world was on the brink of nuclear war, and no one knew it yet. Almost no one that, is.
