The novels

Juan wakes from a two-month coma with a broken memory and one certainty: somewhere out there is a woman he failed to protect. The DEA’s secret weapon becomes a honeypot for the battered wives of narco elites — chasing “The Black Widow” through seduction, wit, and war, to the founding of a covert unit that recruits people like you.

Book II
Juan walks into the cartel on purpose. His brother Ray — a doctor, not a spy — must become one anyway. Coded poems, an audio tooth, a face that isn’t the face they’re hunting, and a love that refuses to stay dead. The war goes to the Dominican Republic — and the Angel of Death is waiting.

Angel of Hope I earned a Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Seal and a Kirkus Indie review.
An engaging romantic mystery.
A fast-paced, intriguing plot that has a powerful message… an amazing novel and a book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
The author weaves detailed pictures in the minds of readers with his words. The poems flow exceptionally well… lyrical yet evocative.
It blends verse, art, and writing into a tragically beautiful story of domestic violence… the characters are well-developed, and the storyline is engaging.
The story is suspenseful and utterly entertaining. I want to read the next book in the series.
The descriptive narrative, coupled with the amazing poetry, packs an emotional punch… a book that will stay with you.
Illustrations by the author
Every character and scene in the Angel of Hopenovels is illustrated by Ramon Geronimo himself — the same hand that wrote the story and is building the game.
The transmedia game
No screens between you and the fiction. A card appears — on a desk, by a register, under a tray. You call the number. A voice answers. From that moment, every lunch is a mission, every menu item a codeword, and every restaurant a safe house in a war between two networks.
The Blue Card
Become the agent nobody suspects. Observe. Report. Decode the poems. Intercept the shipments. Protect your identity — a ghost who gets named gets burned.
The Black Card
Run the routes. Wash the money. Buy the plaza and make it the busiest corner in the city. When the raid comes — and it comes — you’d better afford the lawyer.
Find a card
Or be found. The Network decides.
Make the call
A real voice vets you, names you, arms you with a codeword.
Live the mission
In the real world, one meal at a time. Tell no one.
“Capture Narcos is a true transmedia marvel — get hooked on the book, then step inside it.”
For brands & sponsors
Every mission in Capture Narcos maps to a legitimate, measurable guest action — a verified visit, a menu item tasted, a store experience reported, a promotion shared. The game is an engagement layer; underneath it runs a consented, pseudonymous, first-party data engine for the sponsor’s analytics teams.
Thousands of verified-visit, structured guest-experience reports per week — disguised as spy field reports.
The codeword is a menu item. Queue a SKU; agents order it, taste it, and get debriefed within days. Stockouts surface in hours.
Missions route players to chosen stores, off-peak dayparts, and cross-brand store-hopping trails.
Empire players earn from real foot traffic at stores they digitally own — so they promote your locations relentlessly.
About the author
Ramon Geronimo is a writer, artist, engineer, and humanitarian. A survivor of sports human trafficking — exploited while chasing his dream of playing professional baseball — he went from begging on the streets for food to earning three degrees and building a career in artificial intelligence. That distance, and the people who carried him across it, is the subject of most of what he makes.
He holds degrees in Business Administration, Applied Computer Science, a UCLA screenwriting certificate, and a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence. Today he is a Senior Software Engineer building production AI systems inside big tech. He is also the founder of Rising To The Top, a nonprofit that helps young athletes earn scholarships and an education — on the belief that every child deserves a future.
“This book, the app, the drawings, the animations — they are all the result of my alone time with my imagination.”
The cause behind the story
The Angel of Hope was written to give a voice to victims of domestic violence — and its author, a survivor himself, founded Rising To The Top to help young athletes earn scholarships. Part of the proceeds of Capture Narcos supports both missions.
