Produktbeschreibung
As he and Chandee successfully avenge themselves for the death of Julio Antonio's dog, Kimbo, on the G-2 agents responsible, they accidentally stumble across the wedding of Sandra. Even though they had spoken at length six or seven months previously, Sandra had made no mention of her impending nuptials, so it is a shock to both of them. As they leave Pinar del Rio for Guane, an unexpected violent encounter brings them face to face with another sinister aspect of the communist regime in Cuba: human trafficking for sexual slavery. One of the recent abduction victims is his own cousin, and so he and some other relatives conduct a raid and free her along with the other victims. Julio Antonio, no longer having the protection of working with the government, is now subject to mandatory military service like any other Cuban and finds himself drafted. His military unit is assigned the loading of the Soviet cargo ships at the conclusion of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and with his own hands loads the ships with rusted out engine parts, obsolete agricultural equipment-junk-onto the decks of the ships and covering them with tarps. It turns out that Kennedy agreed to no inspections, and so the missiles remained on the island. Returned to his unit, Julio Antonio receives advice how to get out of military service and feigns madness, ultimately receiving a medical discharge. By then, a year has passed, and the news hits the island: President John F. Kennedy is dead, and Lee Harvey Oswald is in custody for the crime. An ebullient Che sees Julio Antonio and apologizes for any past insults and virtually begs the teen to come back into his circle. As a token of that, he and Chandee are both invited to a top secret meeting in which the assassins, two of the doubles of Lee Harvey Oswald the young spy kept meeting the previous years, debrief the top government officials as to the details of how the mission succeeded.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Julio Antonio del Marmol is the son of the primary financier behind Fidel Castro's revolution, Leonardo del Marmol. A Grand Master Mason, Leonardo organized his Masonic brothers to provide the funds Castro needed to purchase supplies and weapons. When the revolution won in January, 1959, then-11-year-old Julio Antonio wanted to become part of the revolution. His father arranged to get a letter written by his son detailing a plan to organize the Cuban youth into an army of the future into the hands of Fidel Castro, who flew out to meet the young man. Impressed by the boy's eloquence, he presented Julio Antonio with his own .38 pistol as a give and appointed him Commander-in-Chief of the Young Commandos of the Rebel Army and the youngest military commander in the revolution. Within six months, Che Guevara showed the youth that the plan was to implement a communist system on the island. In distress, he went to warn his father, who accused Julio Antonio of being brainwashed by an uncle in Havana (who never liked the revolution) and threw his own 12 year old son out of the house. Julio Antonio went to his uncle and revealed everything he had seen, only to discover that his uncle was a master spy going back to World War II, in which he was in charge of the network preventing the Nazis from taking control of the Caribbean and Central/South America. His uncle recruits and trains Julio Antonio, making him the youngest spy in history. He continues in his role, taking secrets from Castro's own office until his cover is blown in 1971. He must leave the island for the US, taking his fight against communism to a global level.
