I've ready everything Browne has written, and this one ranks at the top. One of the few books I have read more than twice. It's the kind of adventure novel you read when you're down with the flu for 3 days and can take it from start to finish--you won't want to read it in several sittings!

This one is just another timeless artpiece of Gerald A. Brown at his best in his prime time, simply wonderful, period. The movie was also not bad. Readers who failed to read his books would not understand what a real thriller could be achieved by a great writer. Unique writing style, amazing plot and scenario, outstanding charaters...the praise could go on and on.

Precious stones have supported tyrants, funded revolutions, and inspired the dreams of explorers and the common man for millennia. While several of Browne's books focus on the diamond trade and the iron grip exercised over the global availability and exchange of those precious stones by the world's oldest and strongest cartel, this novel deals with emeralds. Rarer than diamonds, emeralds can cost more than diamonds. Mixed in with suspense and adventure is the message that diamonds are not the only "blood" gem marketed in the world and that people will go to any extreme to hold in their hand the key to a brighter future for themselves and the people they care about. If you enjoy reading about adventure in exotic places in a well written suspense novel that will leave you guessing until the last page, give this one a try.

I did not receive any of my Gerald Browne order. It was many books and I am very disappointed. I could not get any satisfaction from Amazon because they are unreachable.
