Cuban Phoenix: A True Story of One Man's Journey to Freedom, by Nardelio Nodal, M.D.

Doctor Noy, a Cuban-trained physician and intelligence agent, is sold out by his government and colleagues while on assignment in Guyana. Disillusioned and desperate, he resolves to escape and make his way to the USA. Aided by loyal Guyanese friends both high and low, he must elude Cuban and Venezuelan agents to undertake an Odyssey of subterfuge to elude capture. Branded as a traitor by his government, unable to even contact his family in Cuba, Dr. Noy has lost everything he holds dear except his freedom. His first-person narrative is by turns comic, tense, emotional and action-packed.
