The American Mission by Matthew Palmer

5.0

---

Likely a 2014 favorite read. Palmer's plot is fast paced and meaty, weaving mining, diplomacy, K&R, the US Foreign Service, and the politics of developing countries like the DRC into an engrossing and entertaining novel. Half way through, I added Palmer's next book to my to-read list.
