Book Description

In this gripping tale that spans three generations, the indomitable Velez family finds themselves locked in an unwavering battle against foreign invaders and tyrannical regimes. Humbert, affectionately known as "Hummie" to his closest companions, has languished in solitude for years, disillusioned by a deteriorating society. Just as he loses hope, a timely message from his dear friend Donnie rekindles a glimmer of purpose. Donnie urges Humbert to emerge from his seclusion and spearhead outreach programs, thanks to a newfound comrade who is willing to provide the necessary funding. But Humbert's return to the world he once fought to change only plunges him further into despair. Society has decayed even more, and the younger generation seems to have fallen prey to misinformation propagated by fake news. Amidst his desolation, Humbert's path crosses with that of Graziella San Miguel, a passionate history professor who harbors extraordinary admiration for the heroic lineage of the Velez family. Love blossoms between the two as they unite in their shared determination to shed light on these dark times. As Humbert delves deeper into his work, he uncovers an ugly truth—a deceitful facade disguising the donor's true, self-serving agenda. Unable to turn a blind eye to such treachery, Humbert becomes the target of a relentless private army, facing a malicious barrage of slander on social media and false narratives that distort the legacy of his ancestors. The campaign against him climaxes in a chilling assassination attempt that leaves Humbert fighting for his life, trapped in a coma. Enraged by her beloved's plight, Graziella reveals her hidden persona as the leader of a rebel death squad.
