Using unscrupulous methods, a pair of Danish rogues gain control of an ill-equipped and cash-poor mining company. It owns an abandoned underground mine on the barren south coast of Newfoundland that still hosts quality gold but cannot convince the market to financially support rejuvenation.

Produktbeschreibung
Using unscrupulous methods, a pair of Danish rogues gain control of an ill-equipped and cash-poor mining company. It owns an abandoned underground mine on the barren south coast of Newfoundland that still hosts quality gold but cannot convince the market to financially support rejuvenation. The pair intend to strip out as much of the high-grade gold remaining and ship it off-shore for processing, as they did on a similar project in Greenland. A powerful Russian oligarch, with murky motives, arranges a multi-million-dollar loan, based on lies, for the Danes to re-activate the mine, and build a processing plant they don't actually intend to build. Instead, the Russian and the Danes keep the loans for themselves, as well as the revenue from the sale of the gold. It's another billion-dollar heist. Just like their previous "venture" on the southern tip of Greenland, they intend to mine as fast as possible, leaving Newfoundland with nothing but a toxic mess. Led by saboteur Matthew Black, ORB - the Organization for Restructuring Business - has to stop the Russian and the Danes, control their cash flow, divert money back to the original lenders, and put all three out of business. Their tactics include sabotaging the mine, their barges, and their mega-yachts. As ORB goes to great lengths to sabotage the thieves, the gold hangs in the balance. Will ORB succeed in stopping the rogues? Will the financier be left in the lurch, again? Or will ORB be able to put a stop to their nefarious plans once and for all?
Autorenporträt
A. Jay Collins has spent over twenty years preparing for this novel. It became a labour of love, a commitment and a project wrapped up in one. Continually chiselling the characters, simplifying the plot, and more accurately describing the scenes only he would have seen during his own experiences, but tempering them with a lazy expression, he has presented a story that he could never truly finish in one novel. Armed with a lifetime of travel and experiences in many places most may never visit, he weaves a web of interest and intrigue as the tale is told. This is a culmination of fragments of his experience woven together to provide authenticity to the narrative. The story is a fictional one mixed with many facts. A. Jay Collins lives in the Vancouver, BC, area and continues to work on other manuscripts, assembling them in part from memories turned to fictional accounts with loose bindings until the time comes for it all to come together.
