“…U. S. agency operates an aviation unit from Honduras during the Contra Revolution in 1985. While on an inaugural mission, a flyer – loadmaster designated a “kicker” - is swept from C-123 Provider aircraft. The incident occurred during an insurgent supply mission. Falling from the aircraft left no time for a parachute to open. His fall was cushioned by the freight being supplied to the insurgents. His body mangled and mind unconscious. Sandinista citizen-soldiers lead by a battle-hardened guerilla capture the American. Initially, he is taken to a farm outside the Nicaraguan town of Jalapa. A Cuban military advisor comes on scene through association with Juanita Maria Perez-Velasquez. Reluctantly, she allows the enemy soldier in her home temporarily. Sandinista ranking officers interrogate their prisoner. Parallel and intersecting stories unfold with all primary characters in this slice of history presented in a fictional frame. As the loadmaster is nurtured back into consciousness, clashes occur between diplomatic partners. Juanita Perez is further drawn into this historical international thriller. Her son is ‘kidnapped’ by unknown forces. As each character arc is provided, a human-asset trade becomes a necessity. The captured-asset trade is arranged through a Diplomatic Memorandum of Understanding. Its agreement also resets the sides in their military-economic quest for control of the region. War takes on many faces as countries thrust and parry. All parties finding themselves imprisoned in the ideologies they serve."
