Reviews
Bill Bonner (Author of Empire of Debt and Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets):

"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." 

David Brin (Author of Earth and The Postman):

"Passionately pointed and provocative."

Dr. Ron Paul:

"Speculator uses the cover of a thrilling tale of international intrigue to provide an economic and moral defense of the much-maligned speculator and an economic and moral condemnation of those who profit via force and fraud. Doug Casey and John Hunt have provided an invaluable service to those looking for unique ways to spread the ideas of liberty."

Jo Ann Skousen (Professor of English Literature, Chapman University):

"Speculator 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."

John Hart, (author of Redemption Road):

"Speculator may prove to be the first in a new genre of fiction. Give this book to all your friends and enemies."  

John Mackey (Founder, Whole Foods Market and author of Conscious Capitalism):

"Halfway between Frederick Forsyth's Dogs of War and Ayn Rand's Fountainhead. The gold mine in the jungle, the mercenaries, and the child soldiers keep you turning the pages. A morality tale with modern twists."

Richard Harteis (Author of Marathon and Publishing Director of Poets-Choice.com)

"Move over John Galt and Humphrey Bogart, Speculator 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."

Robert Ringer (Author of Looking Out for #1 and Winning Through Intimidation):

"Speculator will keep you thinking long past the conclusion and for years to come."

Wendy McElroy (Author of Liberty for Women):

"Speculator 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."
