Speculator (High Ground)

Speculator (High Ground)

"Move over John Galt and Humphrey Bogart, <i>Speculator</i> has created an old-fashioned hero with contemporary style and sex appeal. Expert cicerones lead us through the dark world of African mining and international finance. It is a riveting tale, perfect for a day at the beach or a long-winter's-night read. Pure gold." --Richard Harteis (Author of <i>Marathon</i> and Publishing Director of Poets-Choice.com)"<div><br /><b>The greatest gold discovery in history draws a young Charles Knight to West Africa, where he unearths deception, violence, and romance. Xander Winn--a Dutchman on his own mission--mentors Charles on his voyage into the world of speculation and African politics. But a psychopathic rebel leader, the purveyors of a six-billion-dollar fraud, a team of mercenaries bent on early retirement, and the US government all get in his way. <i>Everyone wants him dead. But Charles plans to strike it rich.</i></b></div><div><b></b></div>
