About this listen

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.

I was definitely hooked on this story. Just like a book you can't put down I could not stop listening. A great story! The lessons that are taught are so valuable and can be implemented within your own life. The perfect combination of a fictional novel, a stock market book, and a life coach book. If you like investing, in finance as well as in yourself. Look no further.
The gentleman who read the book also did a fantastic job, switching between masculine and feminine tones as well as various accents, creating a vast soundscape of congruent characters. I can't wait to listen to the next book. Enjoy!

A Great Story!

What an amazing series! The authors have created a very strong and admirable character, like Howard Rourke from The Fountainhead, then placed him in the middle of a James Bond-like thriller in Africa. This would be a great book for young people to start learning about business, economics, philosophy, relationships, and just a solid broad perspective of the world in general. I cannot wait for the next 4 books to be released now.

My new #1 favourite series!!
