About this title

Synopsis

A British mining magnate hires a mercenary to carry out his plan to overthrow a West African dictator

From the Publisher

"A super thriller. . .as instantly enthralling as the day of the Jackal."-- Publishers Weekly.

In a remote corner of Zangaro, a small republic in Africa, lies Crystal Mountain. At certain times of the day the mountain emits a strange glow. Only Sir James Manson knows why. The mountain contains ten billion dollar's worth of the world's most valuable mineral, platinum. "Not only exciting but truly surprising"--Atlantic. Now the only question is, how to get hold of it. Sir James knows how. Invade the country with a band of savage, cold-blooded mercenaries. Topple the government and set up a puppet dictatorship. Unleash the dogs of war.

"There is no doubt about it. Frederick Forsyth can write spellbinders."--Bestsellers.
