review 1: This book deals with the struggle to control mineral interests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It pits the countries' corrupt current leader and a mining company that he is in bed with against a small village that wants to control its destiny and an American diplomat who is going out on a limb to support them. For a book on international intrigue this one is sharply written and easy to understand. Sometimes I get a bit lost in the plots of books of this genre but not this time. A well written debut novel.
review 2: Matthew Palmer's debut release of this fantastic thriller about the smelting operations in the Congo is really a work of art that's going to be hard too outdo. This intriguing novel, is a fast paced story of international corruption involvin... moreg the U.S. Embassy joining forces with American affiliated mining companies that are trying too disable the Congo smelting operations, so they can take over these smelting mines very cheaply. Great read, had a hard time putting it down, can't wait till Matthew comes out with a new release. less
