A morality tale with modern twists." -John Mackey (Founder, Whole Foods Market and author of <i>Conscious Capitalism</i>)</b></p> <p>The greatest gold discovery in history draws a young Charles Knight to West Africa, where he unearths deception, violence, and romance.

Doug Casey and John Hunt have provided an invaluable service to those looking for unique ways to spread the ideas of liberty." -Dr. Ron Paul</p> <p>"<i>Speculator</i> may prove to be the first in a new genre of fiction. Give this book to all your friends and enemies." -John Hart (Author of <i>Redemption Road</i>)</p> <p>"Adventure... intrigue... philosophy... politics... you'll find it all in this fast-paced novel from Doug Casey and John Hunt. Most important, you'll find thoughts - the kind of thoughts that will make you think too." -Bill Bonner (Author of <i>Empire of Debt</i> and <i>Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets</i>)</p> <p>"Speculator will keep you thinking long past the conclusion and for years to come."-Robert Ringer (Author of <i>Looking Out for #1</i> and <i>Winning Through Intimidation</i>)</p> <p>"<i>Speculator</i> is a roller-coaster lesson on the arcane world of gold-mine investing. An African revolution, massive fraud with massive profits and losses-the novel is such fun you don't notice how much you are learning. But, mostly, it is a good read with a unique protagonist." -Wendy McElroy (Author of <i>Liberty for Women</i>)</p> <p>"Move over John Galt and Humphrey Bogart, <i>Speculator</i> has created an old-fashioned hero with contemporary style and sex appeal. Expert cicerones lead us through the dark world of African mining and international finance. It is a riveting tale, perfect for a day at the beach or a long-winter's-night read. Pure gold." -Richard Harteis (Author of <i>Marathon</i> and Publishing Director of Poets-Choice.com)</p> <p>"Passionately pointed and provocative."-David Brin (Author of <i>Earth</i> and <i>The Postman</i>)</p> <p>"<i>Speculator</i> combines the fast-paced action of a Dirk Pitt adventure story with the cerebral message of an Ayn Rand novel. The authors' knowledge of how markets, mining, and governments work is impressive, yet the book reads like a day at the beach. Crisp, intelligent, and witty, this new adventure series might even out-Rand Rand." -Jo Ann Skousen (Professor of English Literature, Chapman University)</p>
