From the Fireship Press website:

“The Fever Hut is a unique look at the American invasion of Cuba in 1898 (Remember the Maine!) through the eyes of doctors searching frantically for the source of Yellow Fever. Doctor Duncan Cleary does pioneering lab analyses and self-inoculates with the disease to record its effects. He also deals with military bureaucracy and instituted racism, threats from German officials, and manages to fall in love in this very readable, deeply researched, historical novel.” –Rod Barfield, author Tempest on the Outer Banks

“The Fever Hut skillfully relates the story of the first appearance of the United States Army on the world stage, successfully launching a sea-borne invasion, rapidly defeating an entrenched army, and occupying Spain’s colony of Cuba. Surprisingly, Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders, made famous by this event, received a mere mention from the author, who focused on honoring doctors and scientists of the Army Medical Corp. for discovering the source of Yellow Fever, which had stumped the world’s finest minds. This novel is a page-turner whose relatable fictional characters inject humor, romance, and camaraderie, breathing life into the people history has recognized as contributing to solving this mystery of science and nature. Overcoming race prejudice and surviving attempted murder to preserve evidence of Germany’s possible involvement in the sinking of the USS MAINE, foiling the Kaiser’s design of domineering Cuba mere miles from the American Homeland.” –Edward Cuddy, author of 1777: The Year of Destiny
