Slum Fever: To America and Back (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781329644465)

THE SLUM TRILOGY, BOOK THREE Eight people narrowly escape death on a revolutionary island by fleeing to America in a small plane. One person, though, is intentionally left behind because he had naively thought he wanted to be part of the revolution. But he was wrong. Sergeant Gabino realized too late that he should've been on the escape plane with the others, as his life as a soldier became in peril due to his crazy, neurotic general. As Robbie, Julianna, baby Vic, Alba, Mama, Natalia, Lucita, and Chris try to adjust to America (some successfully, others disastrously), a communication blockade sets in. They could no longer talk with Gabino, whom they last knew as desperately wanting to get away from his neurotic general, fearing for his life. A rescue of Gabino is impossible because the revolution raged. But when a dangerous, long-shot chance presents itself, Robbie fearfully returns to the island to see if he could locate the naïve soldier, Gabino, and bring him to America to join the people he loved.
