A participant in the revolution against Batista and the opposition of Castro’s regime he is currently a journalist with several published books, among them: Yo, el mejor de todos (biography of Ernesto Guevara), Rolando Masferrer en el país de los mitos, and the novelas: Bonpland #8 and Lorenzo y el Cordero del Diablo.Dos novelas en una trama que tienen la misma finalidad de luchar por la libertad. Un plan concebido y planeado para secuestrar a un intelectual amigo de Fidel Castro y canjearlo por el hijo del protagonista, retenido en la isla-prisión. La acción es continua y tal parece que ha sucedido o sucederá. Una novela de acción y un juego de inteligencia. Y después otra novela sobre un atentado a Fidel Castro, pensado en forma perfecta, que no llega materializarse por cambios imposibles de adelantar. Realmente un regalo literario y un thriller extraordinario. Una de las novelas más exitosas en lectores. Tal parece que es una historia real pues el lector juega adivinando personajes y disfrutando el final.Two novels with one plot in common: the fight for freedom. The first part of the book consists of a plan to kidnap an intellectual friend of Fidel Castro’s in exchange for the son of the protagonist, trapped in the island-prison. The action is never ending and it seems to have happened or will happen. A fast paced adventure and a game of intelligence. Later, the second novel which consists of an attempt on Fidel Castro’s life, perfectly designed, but that fails to materialize due to changes impossible to anticipate. This book is a true literary gift and a remarkable thriller. One of the most successful novels in readers. It seems that it is a real story because the reader plays by guessing the characters and enjoying the ending.
