Beschreibung

Starting back even before he was born, Dr. del Marmol and his family have had several strange experiences: ladies who are complete strangers but seem to know all about the del Marmol family that appear and disappear mysteriously, forces that seem to protect them, and as a child how Julio Antonio would hear voices that advised and warned him. Not only that, but young Julio Antonio also seems capable of doing things with his mind. Warned by his uncle, he never talks about it lest it frighten people, but in addition to being able to make things happen he discovers he gets auditory warnings, almost like alarm bells ringing in his ears, whenever danger is about to occur. Flashing forward to his life as the Commandantico, he discovers that his friend Yaneba has an uncle about to be executed, sees a test of a new prototype device designed to extract information from the brains of spies directly, and meets with a new contact: the supposedly-insane Jose Maria Lopez Lledin, better known in Havana as the Gentleman of Paris. He is taken by Che to meet the American writer, Ernest Hemingway, who has been taking the plunder of the wealthy of Cuba who left their belongings behind when they went into exile, transporting them around the Caribbean to various auctions in his yacht, the Pilar, and then bringing the money back to Cuba. As it turns out, Hemingway also is working with intelligence, but it is not clear to Julio Antonio which intelligence agency he is assisting. The young spy begins to develop a daring plan to rescue Yaneba's uncle, discovering in the process the two of them have a telepathic connection.

Autor

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.
