Every Scar Has A Story
Professor Kai Baldwin, a world-famous human rights lawyer, has endured loss after loss. Preferring a safe college classroom back in the States, he vows never to return to his childhood home in the Congo. Who could fault him? By all accounts, he should be dead. His father died in a plane crash. His fiancée left him. And his mother is dying. The two-inch scar on his right wrist is a nagging reminder of his vow and unresolved grief.
But when his former fiancée mysteriously disappears, Kai jettisons his never-evers and rushes back to the Congo. Launching a desperate search for her, Kai discovers a global conspiracy to control the world’s cobalt resources. He faces the ultimate dilemma: will he risk all to save the one he loves or sacrifice himself for the good of humanity?
The Cobalt Curse takes readers into the wild world of conflict minerals, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence through the streets of Dubai, Washington, D.C., Brussels, Switzerland, and deep into the Congo jungle.
Customer Reviews
Fun read
What makes this story special is that it reads like a movie, like an adventure thriller in the image of Indiana Jones or Jack Ryan. You may have trouble putting this one down! It has a little bit of everything: vivid details that engage the reader’s imagination, relevant geo-political drama, bits of humor and Kai’s incurable love for his soulmate, Brooke.
Would love to see this streaming. I highly recommend!

Thought-provoking and fast-paced, you won't want to put the book down. I love the rare combination of geo-political acumen, dynamic characters, and a life-giving message. For someone who loves words as much as I do, it's a literary gem. Yes, the Cobalt Curse is a cinematic drama transversing complex dilemmas of our global economy. But more importantly, this is a book that invites us to live with greater courage and hope amid the pressing issues of our present age. Highly recommend!
Must Read
The Cobalt Curse is a can’t put it down thriller. The story weaves characters and international locations together with skill and subtlety. I was compelled to keep reading to discover the who what where happened next! The research in technology, science, geology and weaponry is very impressive and makes it believably real.
I definitely recommend this book
