Book description
Rod Ironsides, ambitious and hard-living mining expert, knows that the
general managership of the Sonder Ditch gold mine is the chance of a
lifetime. But the price of unquestioning obedience to the coldly
obsessive genius of Dr Manfred Steyner proves impossible to pay. Both
men are but unwitting tools of powerful people - for whom the control of
a gold mine is only part of the realization of dreams and ambitions
which include the destruction of the very mine itself...
