I read Fire into Ice.....my wife was kind enough to buy it for me last year... it was fantastic... I'm now about one third of the way through "Barren Lands", another book about Chuck and the great diamond hunt... this too is turning out to be an awesome read... I would highly recommend these two books for anyone who enjoys reading or for dd purposes/research on Chuck and the history of the diamond industry worldwide really,... It helps to pass the time while waiting for a DAMN JV PARTNER! or perhaps even a DAMN NEWS RELEASE ! GEEESSSHHHH !!! I'm about ready to call President Saleh and ask him to turn up the heat on these guys... c'mon Chuck, Chad, I got a damn mortgage to pay here... I'm gonna have to sell these two books soon...
