In 1950s Havana, the line between healer and assassin is written in blood.
Before the missile crisis, before the embargo, there was the fall of the Republic. CUBELA LIBRE - ROAD TO REVOLUTION: Book 1, Acts 1-3 pulls back the curtain on the untold, explosive true events that ignited the Cuban Revolution.
Spanning the decadent New Year's Eve of 1951 to the brutal aftermath of Fulgencio Batista's March 1952 military coup, this high-stakes historical thriller drops you into a treacherous labyrinth of shifting allegiances. The American Syndicate, directed by figures like Meyer Lansky and Santo Trafficante Jr., seeks to buy the island and turn Havana into an untouchable casino empire. The CIA and the Deep State watch from the shadows of Washington D.C., preparing their own covert operations. Caught in the crossfire are the citizens of Cuba, whose democracy is being stolen in the dark.
At the center of the storm is Rolando Cubela, a brilliant, cynical medical student harboring dangerous personal secrets. Pulled into the fiery, idealistic orbit of his best friend and student leader, José Antonio EcheverrÃa, Cubela is forced to the front lines when Batista's tanks roll into the capital. As the democratic government of President Carlos PrÃo Socarrás crumbles without a fight, the students of the University of Havana are left to battle a ruthless police state.
Forced to choose between his sacred oath to heal and the bloody necessity of rebellion, Cubela must navigate a world where a single bullet can change the course of history.
In Book 1, Acts 1-3, you will experience:
A meticulously researched, cinematic journey through 1950s Cuba, from the neon-drenched Cabaret Montmartre to the opulent halls of the Presidential Palace.
The birth of a revolution seen through a sprawling web of perspectives: passionate students, ousted presidents, American mobsters, and brutal military enforcers like Rafael Salas Cañizares.
Intersecting global storylines, featuring a young Jackie Bouvier brushing up against the architects of the Cold War, and a calculating Raúl Castro operating in the shadows of his brother Fidel's loud ambitions.
The heartbreaking reality of the March 10th Batistazo, the violent student protests that followed, and the terrible sacrifices made in the name of freedom.
Perfect for fans of historical thrillers, espionage, and complex political dramas, CUBELA LIBRE - ROAD TO REVOLUTION: Book 1, Acts 1-3 delivers a fast-paced, multi-layered look at a revolution where nothing is black and white.
