The Blue Heron

The President of the United States asks Jake Kelly, “Do you know how to start a revolution in a dictator’s country? It’s easy, you kill the SOB.” Jake Kelly, a retired U.S. Army officer is ordered back to active duty to resurrect a dormant intelligence network in Cuba, and to launch a covert operation—code name Libertad—to overthrow the Cuban government. Jake’s best friend, Juan Guevara, volunteers to lead the assassination team to help eliminate Cuba’s dictator. The Blue Heron is the name of Jake’s powerful jet fast cabin cruiser and is also the code name for a U.S. military intelligence agent who once worked for Jake operating in Cuba. The Cuban Federal Police are highly interested in this agent and attempts are made to capture him alive. Jake’s fiancée and Guevara’s grandson are kidnapped by the most dangerous terrorist in the western hemisphere, forcing Jake into a dramatic rescue effort.
