Synopsis

The Bay of Pigs turns out to be a fiasco-the fraudulent decoy map was completely unnecessary. Kennedy changes the landing point for the invasion only 24 hours before the attack, and a key component to its success is internal support from the counterrevolutionaries in the mountains. With such short notice, they are unable to reposition themselves; added to that Kennedy's reluctance to commit US forces to the invasion, and it is a dismal failure. During a party, Julio Antonio meets his ex-girlfriend, Sandra once more, who takes him to a secluded area to explain to him in greater detail the reasons for their breakup. A commotion breaks out as Che discovers his bodyguard assassinated in a most grisly fashion. Julio Antonio refuses to account for his whereabouts due to his desire to shield Sandra from any shame, and when Che and Piñeiro confront him about it, he has had enough of Che's repeated acceptance of Piñeiro's suspicions and gossip and explodes in fury on Che. Sandra comes forward to explain, and Julio Antonio refuses to accept Che's repeated apologies, taking the opportunity to finally get out of the madman's circle of intimates. From the condition of the body, he already knows who is responsible: Che's illegitimate daughter, Maggie, who had left him as a present a painting she had made which was an exact depiction of a nightmare fueled by delirium Julio Antonio had while recovering from the infected wounds he sustained while smuggling Che's briefcase out of the military headquarters. He leaves the party and takes it to a friend with psychic abilities to see if there's a connection or explanation. He has a meeting with yet another double of Lee Harvey Oswald, this time an agent for the West, and tells him everything he knows about the planned assassination of Kennedy. He and his current girlfriend, Chandee, escalate the clandestine war against the communists.

About this title

About the Author

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.
