A billion dollars is a lot of money. But not for Jim, a trading whizz kid. While buying into a new mine in Congo, his broker has gone missing in the jungle. Baz Mycock is a shady mining promoter who will stop at nothing to part speculators with their money. Barron Mining could be just the killing he has always planned. 'Man bites Dog' is a Congolese child soldier, trapped and enslaved by a conflict of unprecedented brutality. In The Twain Maxim, their paths cross under the malevolent gaze of Nyiragongo, Africa's most volatile volcano.

This review is from: Twain Maxim (Hardcover)

This is a fast paced financial thriller with enough plot twists to keep you turning the pages and stuck to your seat until you've finished. But it does more than give you a page-turning story, it introduces you to the world of small cap mining stocks and how the markets can be manipulated by experienced tricksters. Clem Chambers knows his stuff. He's been there and seen it all. So you'll come away from this book with more than an exciting read, you'll have picked up an education on the way: some early warning signals on how not to be duped in a small cap private equity scam. I also suspect that the prototype high tech weapons are more than a figment of Clem's imagination. Decide for yourself.

This one's worth adding to your Santa list or slipping into somebody's Christmas stocking.
