Bay of One Hundred Fires

by J. Lanier Yeates

Overview

In Bay of One Hundred Fires author J. Lanier Yeates weaves a chilling tale of what Saddam Hussein might have done with the deadly weapons many believed he had.This first work of fiction by Yeates has been the focus of his attention for the past three years as unfolding real-life events aligned ever more closely with his developing story.

But the story began to take shape soon after the nuclear-powered cruiser USS California steamed into Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1975 with Yeates at the helm.It was then that I became aware of the activities of the Soviet Navy in the sleepy bay at Cienfuegos," said Yeates. "And I began to develop a fictional 'solution' to what seemed to be a real threat."

In Bay of One Hundred Fires, a poor Cuban family from Cienfuegos is swept into a battle between the Navy and a global terror network. To complement its firepower and 21st century technology, the Navy calls on a young lieutenant commander and maverick CIA analysts.

The Navy has one more weapon to leverage its powerful assets: Hoss Mueller, the skipper of the re-born USS California.
