Escape from Cuba is a gripping, unflinching narrative that pulls back the curtain on the brutal realities of life under an authoritarian regime. Through the intertwined lives of Alberto Mendieta Ramos-a defiant young man driven by ideals of freedom-and Andrés Jorge Molina-a seasoned dissident with a past etched in scars and survival-the novel paints a searing portrait of Cuba's repressive political machinery.

Set in the shadows of Havana's decaying beauty and the suffocating grip of State Security, the story unfolds through interrogations, betrayals, acts of silent courage, and the harsh consequences of dissent. Alberto's journey from a rebellious technician to a hunted man exposes the everyday corruption, cruelty, and psychological warfare used to maintain control. Alongside him, Andrés serves as both mentor and mirror, revealing what resistance costs-and what it redeems.

This powerful work is both a political thriller and a human drama, told with raw authenticity and biting irony. From street-level hustling to the eerie halls of secret police facilities, Escape from Cuba explores identity, resistance, and the fierce resilience of those who refuse to be broken. A haunting and necessary read for anyone seeking to understand the human cost of dictatorship and the irrepressible desire for freedom.
