The board members of the American company Dall & Houston receive a death threat from an alleged Islamic terrorist called Aarohum Al Rashid: unless they return the 1,000 million dollars that they got from its direct involvement with the Iraq war, they will be killed one by one. The plot addresses current global issues like the war for the control of the supply of coltan, a mineral so valuable that has become essential in the developed world technology. "Coltan" is a great novel charged with action, intrigue and top-class story-telling.

I have been an admirer of Alberto Vazquez-Figueroa's books since I was a teenager. He has been always my literary idol, and the inspiration to become a journalist, a war correspondent and finally a successful novelist. (Arturo Perez Reverte, International bestselling author of The Queen of the South.) Vazquez-Figueroa is one of the best Spanish writers of our time, and certainly the most commercially successful! (Jose Manuel Lara, President and founder of the Grupo Planeta, the largest publishing group of Spain and Latin America)
