DANGEROUS TIMES: The Americas Under the Shadows of Terror

A Personal Testament. A Global Call.

DANGEROUS TIMES is not just a book—it is the beginning of a revealing journey into the darkest corners of our hemisphere, where terrorism, narco-states, and transnational crime have reshaped the very fabric of our societies.

As the first volume in a bold new series, this book draws from my direct experience as a counter-narcotics officer, a witness in war zones, and an advisor to governments. These are not distant stories—they are lived realities, complex truths, and urgent warnings.

Within these pages, I explore how criminal empires—from cartels to rogue states—have infiltrated power structures, fueled corruption, and imposed terror from Caracas to Chicago. Yet amid the shadows, DANGEROUS TIMES is also a tribute to resilience—the unyielding strength of people fighting back against fear and chaos.

This is a call to awareness. A call to action.

Because security is not a luxury. It is a right.
