Cover Text

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. Everyone wants him dead. But Charles plans to strike it rich.

He is also the founder of the Eris Society, a non-profit organization that for 30 years brought together hundreds of the world’s leading thinkers on a wide range of eclectic topics related to the arts, sciences, technology, finance and medicine. His firm, Casey Research, LLC, publishes a variety of letters and web sites with a combined weekly audience in excess of 300,000 individuals, largely high-net- worth investors with an interest in resource- development and international real estate.

Mr. Casey has visited over 145 countries, most of them several times, and lived in ten. He has been active in polo, skydiving, martial arts, scuba, auto racing and competitive shooting. He maintains homes in Argentina, Punta del Este, Uruguay, New Zealand, and Aspen, Colorado.[1]
