Set in 1951 Cuba and the wider Caribbean, with scrupulous detail, this immersive thriller takes you into a world where geopolitical tensions intersect with a dangerous technological breakthrough. Cuban Sliders sets out to be a new addition to contemporary speculative fiction, merging Cold War intrigue with a high-stakes espionage plot. You are plunged into the world of Max Calder, a former intelligence operative drawn back into action after the strange death of a Soviet scientist, which confirms the existence of a long-feared system known as the Mirror, which, of course, as readers of Furniture Sliders and Angus Sliders, you will know all about! The re-emergence of this experimental technology quickly escalates into a full-blown crisis, as it can not only alter the very fabric of time, it can also scarily force consensus by removing dissent. As competing global powers race to seize the technology, Max grapples with the immense responsibility of containing or eliminating the threat, even if doing so rewrites the past entirely. Blending emotionally charged storytelling with speculative science and historical tension, the novel pushes boundaries and raises questions about power, agency, and the fragility of reality.

When doppelgängers of former MI6 operative Max Calder surface along the Scottish coast, the Bureau knows the truth they’ve tried to bury: the Mirror lives. Alongside agent Alicia Rayes, Calder follows the trail through abandoned wartime tunnels, Edinburgh safehouses, Rosyth Naval Dockyard, and MI6’s secret chambers beneath Loch Duich. Someone has rebuilt the Mirror Recursion Core at a black site called ANGUS — and programmed it around Calder himself. With MI6 chasing them, the Bureau wavering, and Soviet mole Kim Philby hiding behind a double game, Max must face the one enemy he never prepared for: another version of himself.
