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 into active service to resurrect a dormant intelligence network in Cuba and to launch Operation Libertad, a covert operation to overthrow the Cuban dictator president. Juan Guevara, a Cuban refugee and Jake’s best friend, volunteers to lead a team to assassinate the Cuban dictator. The Blue Heron is Jake Kelly’s powerful and fast cabin cruiser, as well as the code name for a military intelligence agent who once operated secretly in Cuba for more than ten years. The agent is now wanted alive by the Cuban Federal Police who set out to capture the elusive spy. Kelly must also rescue his fiancée and Juan Guevara’s young grandson, both kidnapped by the most dangerous terrorist in the Western hemisphere.
