Description

When Jim Richards left the British army to join a modern-day gold rush, he had no language skills, no money and no idea. Jim has prospected and mined in some of the maddest, most dangerous places on earth, where isolation, disease and violent criminals come with the territory. He has struck gold and diamonds in the piranha-infested rivers of Guyana, discovered a fabulously rich mine (for somebody else) in the Australian desert, been caught up in the worlds biggest mining scam in Indonesia, and started his own gold rush in the jungles of Laos. Book jacket.
