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.

David Nees

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After receiving a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Masters of Education, David began his working career as a teacher…until he was seduced by motorcycles. He threw himself into racing and left teaching to open a motorcycle dealership, thereby starting a dual career as motorcycle dealer and racer. After achieving some level of racing success, he realized his future did not lie on the track (not really built for the sport, being six feet, four inches tall). The motorcycle business expanded into the fitness business, and he went on to build a twenty-seven store regional chain.

Always a voracious reader with a vivid imagination, since leaving the business world, he began writing full-time. He and his wife recently moved to the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay to a house with a wonderfull writing nook on the second floor (big selling feature).

"After the Fall: Jason's Tale" was my first book published. It is a post apocalyptic story that rose to #1 in both PA and dystopian categories. After two sequels, I started witing in the thriller genre as well, starting with "Payback". Six books later, I'm enjoying my protagonist, Dan Stone, as he deals with terrorists across the globe. I plan to write in both series as long as possible (story lines sometimes run out of gas.) See my book list for complete bibliography.

Intrigue and Suspense Throughout!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

“Death in the Congo” holds the reader in its grasp with the intrigue and suspense throughout its pages. This book was well researched in the corruption and ruthlessness often associated within Third World countries. The author introduces you to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, and its importance in the modern world for its vital rare metals of niobium, tantalum and coltan which are essential for our computers, super alloys
among other usages. Dan Stone, a CIA assassin, along with 2 Delta Force comrades are faced with dealing with the Chinese and warlords hellbent in securing the profits from these precious metals for themselves depriving the Congolese people of these riches.
The characters and their conflicts are well developed like all of our previous author’s works. As you read “Death in the Congo” you realize that although this is a fictional account, in reality, the Chinese military is actually bidding for influence into Africa’s enormous resources to corner the world market for its rare earth metals placing the Western World at a precarious situation.
The life in the Congo is well explored with its poverty, superstitions and complete with corruption. Dan Stone and his connection with Watchers makes you wonder if they actually exist in our Modern World. This book is a must read if you wanna keep abreast in world politics and enjoy a great read.

I am done

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021

I agree with the others who consider the book tedious and a step back. I started the series on a camping trip and the first few books were entertaining, with some clever plots and good triumphing over evil. This book was plodding and uninspired, but I continued hoping that there would be some resolution...since it was the last book of a series. Unfortunately NO. Are there more books to come? Or did the author just drop all of us when he could have found a way to wrap up issues such as the future of the small group, the relationship with the boss, etc? I am very disappointed and unfulfilled.

Congo madness but a page turner

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ok, it’s the interior of Africa and there is the expected corruption, bugs, but also the scheming Chinese. Chinese are big infrastructure players in AFRICA.. and of course, they are not Mr. Nice guy. You know bullets will fly, yet there is the mysticism again. And there is romance, and rescues. And those long shots by Dan...Ok, this becomes a page turner even with stereotype Africa. How? Skill of author Nee’s pen. Still, the story is about giving the African nation a possible solution to overcome the evils without the expected white man solution. That is a good story line, but may be a struggle to believe by some. Still, it’s well played out. Now what? Will we see book 6 with Dan the Man?Hope so. The story line got a bit broader with Marcus and Roland.

Magic Much?

This was another great adventure for Dan Stone and his trusty companions. David Nees always provides a rousing episode with lots of suspense and danger. I especially like the touch of the mystical in these books. It makes for a very intriguing read.

I recommend that you check out the Dan Stone series if you haven't already. You certainly won't be disappointed.

another triumph

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2022

A fast moving adventure. The spiritual element mixed with the modern technical world creates a fascinating and unique backdrop for the novel. The setting in the Congo provides the author with the opportunity to enrich readers with the history, fauna and flora of the setting. He goes a great job of educating readers. One fault that I haven’t mentioned in my other reviews is that Nees doesn’t appear to have a proofreader. I get the feeling that his books are transcribed using dictation software snd that no one has reviewed them before release. They are peppered with incorrect homonyms, omitted words, etc.

Awesome book and series

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

This series is most definitely worth the time and $$. I strongly recommend starting with the first book and see how the character is developed through the series. All the books have kept my interest and were hard to put down.

To the author. Your use of mystical forces, both dark and light, weaved into Dan’s missions are done with the perfect amount. I like it and it brings something different into the story. Look forward to more of the Dan Stone series

I read all five Dan Stone novels in sequence

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Now I’m going to read everything else I can find that David Nees wrote. I like this guy, and I like the way he adds new twists to the genre. Stone’s rescue from the Chihuahuan Desert by an ancient shaman in book two gives a welcome twist to the series that carries on through the remaining novels. I hope that Nees will continue to knock out Dan Stone novels, because I will continue to buy and read them. This is very satisfying stuff with great action and characters to care about, including his Delta cohorts Marcus and Roland. Great work, Mr. Nees. Keep it up.

Outstanding addition to the Dan Stone series

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

David Nees is a masterful author and Death in the Congo offers readers the full spectrum of twists, turns and ever present danger surrounding Dan Stone and his group. Thank you David Nees for bringing this entire five book Dan Stone series to us, your growing list of fans. Although each book stands alone I would recommend reading them from the beginning in Book #l. Will there be yet another in the Dan Stone series? We can hope but only time will tell! If you are new to the Dan Stone series you can't go wrong with this book.

Got There in the End

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2022

Worth a read, but for me one of the less flowing books in the Series.
Some of the dialog early on was clumsy and parts dragged but picked up towards the end.
Still enjoyable just a little more work that some of the others.

I really enjoyed these books.
If you're a fan of action adventure then this series of 4 Dan Stone stories is most definitely worth a read.
