Rare Earth

GIVEAWAY

BUNN, DAVIS
RARE EARTH

Marc Royce stares out of the helicopter, a sense of foreboding rising with the volcanic cloud. Below, the Rift Valley slashes across Africa like a scar. Decades of conflicts, droughts, and natural disasters have left their mark.

Dispatched to audit a relief organization, Royce is thrust into the squalor and chaos of Kenyan refugee camps. But his true mission focuses on the area's reserves of once-obscure minerals now indispensable to high-tech industries. These strategic elements--called rare earths--have inflamed tensions on the world's stage and stoked tribal rivalries. As Royce prepares to report back to Washington, he seizes on a bold and risky venture for restoring justice to this troubled land.

But this time, Royce may have gone too far.


My Review:

Be prepared to take an action-packed thrill of a ride! Bunn grabbed my attention on the very first page and didn't shake me loose until the very last word. What an exciting read! Masterfully descriptive action scenes are guaranteed to take your breath away and leave you with the urge to stand up and cheer.

Marc Joyce is a larger than life hero -- the kind you love to watch on the big screen -- he has that kind of presence. The epitome of what is noble and true and right in one lethal package.

Powerfully moving, the inspirational thread is the foundation of the plot. I got goosebumps more than once as Bunn shows his readers what God can accomplish among His Believers.

An exhilarating read with a touching promise of romance. I LOVED it!

  1. Sounds like this would be a great change from my Amish and Regency era reads. :) I do enjoy a good suspense now and again.

  3. I like Davis Bunn's books. He is such a versatile writer. I read the first Marc Royce book, Lion of Babylon and enjoyed it very much. I'd love to win a copy of Rare Earth.
    Thanks!
