About Heart of Venezuela (Roger and Isabel):
Heart of Venezuela
by Dr. Donald Robert Elton
Amid a nation in chaos, an American Medical team embarks on a daring humanitarian mission to bring desperately needed cardiac care to Venezuela. But when caught in the crossfire of a crumbling regime, their lives—and the country’s future—hang in the balance.
Dr. Roger Jackson and his team of medical volunteers arrive in Maracaibo with one goal: to provide lifesaving cardiac care to a country in crisis. As Venezuela teeters on the edge of political and economic collapse, they navigate the dangerous terrain of a country divided between hope for change and the violent grip of a dictatorship unwilling to relinquish power.
But when the regime, desperate to maintain control, detains the team under accusations of aiding terrorists, their mission of mercy becomes a fight for survival. As the U.S. military moves in to send a powerful message, and covert forces play a game of chess behind the scenes, the fate of the team—and Venezuela itself—rests on a delicate balance of diplomacy, power, and sacrifice.
This story is ripped from the headlines and tells the story of the collapse of what was once the wealthiest country in South America and explores the role of Cuban influence on a country that has seen as much as 25% of its population flee in the world’s largest refugee escape in modern times.
Heart of Venezuela weaves together a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the complexities of revolution in one of the world’s most turbulent nations. Blending real-world events with speculative fiction, this novel explores the thin line between humanitarianism and politics and the personal costs of fighting for freedom.
Perfect for readers who love political thrillers, international intrigue, and stories of resilience in the face of impossible odds.
