Death in the Congo: Book 5 in the Dan Stone series (Assassin Series)
A new assignment. In Africa. To stop the Chinese incursions into the continent. The only problem is he might trigger World War III.
This high-stakes thriller set in the wild world of the DRC pits Dan Stone against a complex array of forces, all vying for power and influence.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, holds some of the largest coltan deposits in the world. It is the source of two rare earth metals, niobium and tantalum, vital to modern economies. The Chinese are trying to corner the market and hold the western world hostage.
Dan Stone has experienced many dangerous missions. A trained assassin for the CIA in one of its most covert sections, he now faces a new challenge. He has to navigate a strange country in a strange continent where he stands out among the people. His assignment is to take down a Chinese general and get out alive…without getting caught.

Great readThanks to my fellow readers. I value your opinion. I am a fan of the Dan Stone novels. One of the readers stated the first part was a bit slow. I found this to be true, but worthwhile as it set the stage, plot and characters. It’s about 85 pages. After that the story took off and I was fully engaged. This may be fiction but it sure mirrors today’s climate in the US from the border to DC.

Rational GhostDan is the rational ghost who dies what is necessary. The fictional details are ridiculously close the truth of SC and its power structure. Let’s hope some secret sicario does indeed guard our country.

Excellent reading!Great addition to the Dan Stone series. Using what’s going on in the US now made it current. That was brilliant!

Worth the waitDavid Nees isn’t a fast writer, at least in the Dan Stone series. I’ve stayed with the series since the first, Payback, which was a damn fine start. Each book takes a bit to get in to as Nees takes a while to set the characters and plot. It’s worth it because once it takes off it’s A wild ride. This latest book is no exception. I greatly look forward to the next book.I would hope somewhere there is a moral and dedicated assassin like Dan Stone in real life.

enjoyable readThe beginning of the novel was mostly setup. Diving into the various corruption and the effect. It was a little tedious. That being said, once Dan became involved the novel really hit overdrive. Entraining and with the read.
