About the Book

The Comandante's Gift is an action-adventure novel historically based on the Contra-Sandinista war in Nicaragua during the 1980's. It weaves the culture and geography of the area into the story as two heroines aid the escape of a downed CIA pilot. There are romance and many close calls as the Sandinista Army pursues. The politics of the time are an important part of the story. The Contra movement against the Sandinista Marxist-Leninist government eventually led to a negotiated truce between the two and the loss of political control by the Sandinistas in 1990. The story takes place in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and to a minor extent Honduras and Guatemala. 2nd Printing in March 2014.
About the Author: Frank Gallo is a retired USAF pilot who has lived in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The "Ollie North" CIA airstrip that served as a base for airdrop of supplies to the Contra forces was about 50 miles from Frank's Costa Rican home. From his next home in Nicaragua, Frank found that the Sandinista-Contra conflict was very recent history, and embarked on a great deal of research, reading nearly all books available on the subject, as well as talking to Nicaraguans about the conflict. His familiarity with the geographical areas of Nicaragua, and Costa Rica aided in an accurate portrayal of an event, though fiction, could have happened. Frank is a current general aviation pilot, and has flown throughout the Central American region. He has previously written for an aviation magazine for many years, served as editor of a Costa Rican quarterly, and editor of a computer maintenance magazine, and covered local news in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua for regional papers on occasion.
