SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 16, 2026 – Renowned entrepreneur and multi-award-winning author
Alexander Bentley has released his latest book, Cuban Sliders: A Max Calder Spy-Fi Mystery.
This is the third installment in the highly acclaimed Bureau Archives Trilogy. Set in 1951 Cuba
and the wider Caribbean with scrupulous detail, the immersive thriller novel takes readers
into a world where geopolitical tensions intersect with a dangerous technological breakthrough.
Cuban Sliders is a gripping new addition to contemporary speculative fiction, merging Cold War
intrigue with a high-stakes espionage plot. Readers 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.
The re-emergence of this experimental technology quickly escalates into a full-blown crisis, as it can
alter the very fabric of time and 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.
