Description

The West African country of Sierra Leone has long been known as a diamond-rich area. With civil war ripping the heart out of the country, all aspects of life there are unstable. Worst of all, guerrilla rebels, in their lust for the resource-rich land, have sunk to depravity and terrorism to evict people from the country. It's into this maelstrom of political and emotional turmoil that Ben and Danielle must go. The leader of the rebels, a fanatical and charismatic woman known only as the show more Dragon, is not content with ravaging her own country. She plans a final coup that will perfect her power and topple Western governments--unless Ben and Danielle can stop her in time. show less

It wasn't too bad. It was a little hard to get into the characters, but that is possibly because I started the series in the middle? Pretty entertaining, but nothing that stood out.
A journalist Kirkpatrick and Shepherd started to research VanDelft who is a businessman.
It is said that VanDelft bought and sold many things included gun.
Is it true?
And they would be able to get article about him?

I think this is a thrilling story.
It is exciting for me because I couldn't imagine the ending.
However,I don't like how to write the book.
