A Caribbean invasion—and a concealed encounter

Set against the 1983 U.S. invasion of a small Caribbean nation, the book connects a military operation to an alleged encounter with violent, unusual hostiles. Its account begins with Army Rangers tasked with securing an airport and rescuing American students held at a medical college, then shifts toward the government response and the effort to investigate and conceal what happened. The framing presents the narrative as declassified evidence, bringing together military action, hostage rescue, and a hidden-event premise within a historical-fiction setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction centered on U.S. military events.
  • Readers drawn to stories combining hostage rescue, military operations, and a mysterious hostile force.

Book overview

In October 1983, the United States military invaded a small Caribbean nation under the pretense of repelling a communist uprising. Army Rangers were initially sent in to secure the island's main airport and rescue American students held hostage at a nearby medical college. The Rangers soon found themselves in contact with a bizarre and violent group of hostiles. In the aftermath of that incident, the U.S. government marshalled immense resources to investigate and cover up what had occurred. Now read the declassified evidence for yourself.
