The Copper Mine
()
About this ebook
In a remote Chilean valley in 1997, an Indian village vanishes. Not at the hands of the military, as could have happened and did happen to others, but beneath millions of tons of tailings from a copper mine perched on the plateau above. Except for those whose caring does not matter, no one else knows of this, and the Chilean military and the American company that invested in the Canadian copper mine are determined to keep it that way.
But two people do know and, despite their differences, they are soon thrown together as they race across the harsh and beautiful landscape of Chile in an effort to expose the disaster, with the Chilean army and secret police in hot pursuit.
Hugh Nichols, jaded by his work as an environmental executive in the mining industry,reconciles his troubled recollections of another village - one that he sacrificed - as he falls back on longforgotton skillsacquired as a Marine Corps 2nd Lieutenant in Viet Nam. Serena Teresa D'Annuncio, the Chilean-American cultural anthropologist studying the village below the mine, heals wounds from her own past as they flee together through the rugged valleys of the Andes and the barrios of Santiago.
Adventure and romance, corporate intrigue and death, come together in a thrilling and all too real account of mining and fascism in The Copper Mine.
Bruce Corneille Switzer
Bruce Corneille Switzer bases his corporate thriller, The Copper Mine, on more than 20 years of professional experience in the mining industry, and his visits to Chile during the late 1990's as the environmental director of an international mining company.
