«El héroe del Caribe» is the historical novel by J. A. Pérez-Foncea, published by Libros Libres in hardback (310 pages, in Spanish).
Set in 1741, it recounts the defence of Cartagena de Indias against the English squadron, a battle in which the Spanish victory halted the British advance in America. The plot combines that military episode with the strategic struggle between Admiral Blas de Lezo and Viceroy Eslava, and with the story of Fernando, a young officer stationed at the garrison, and Consuelo, a girl forced to marry a man she does not love. The volume includes the complete real diary of Blas de Lezo about the events.
Published in November 2012, it is the first edition.
Recommended for readers interested in historical fiction and in little-known episodes of the Spanish empire in America.
