Reviews of THE MINE

"If you enjoy John Grisham novels, you will love this book. Daniel Cobb does a fantastic job of grabbing the reader and pulling them into the story... "The Mine" is a fictitious account of one mining company’s unending greed and the young DEQ employee that wants to stop them. There are unexpected twists and turns that keep the pages turning. It was easy to get caught in the drama and feel the fear, anguish and anger that was so brilliantly brought to life in this novel. The characters are believable and as a reader I can easily see these people trying to decide what lines to cross… The author obviously did his homework... The storyline is well developed and thorough…I was shocked to read how leach mining is done and how little is done to protect the environment and the people that live near these mines... This book is by no means a call to arms or an environmentalist anthem but rather a warning and an eye opener to anyone that is not aware what happens every day in the pursuit of riches.

"This fast-paced, fact-based, Grisham-esque thriller enthralled me. It cost me sleep and ultimately made me want to write to my Congressperson. Ryan Evans is a biologist working for Oregon DEQ when he discovers extreme environmental dangers, corruption, and corporate greed that will take more than one life. Really well written and researched, everyone should read The Mine!" -Bobby, Annie Bloom's Books, Portland, Oregon (author’s emphasis)
