THE STORY
Bogotá, a few months after the events of Island Thunder …
While the Cubans revel in their newfound democracy, the Colombian drug cartel that financed the failed revolution has
set its sites on a new target. Readying a retaliatory blow against its own American-allied government, the Colombian
