Bøker av Van Campen

Children in Congo are digging rare earth minerals and ore for weapons, mobile phones and electric cars held at gunpoint by child soldiers. Millions of people have been killed in Congo because they live in resource-rich areas. 'Rape is a weapon of war' says Congolese Dr Denis Mukwege, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Erik Luyts, a commodities trader based in Geneva, travels to Congo because the Chinese are becoming too competitive. His wife Pauline at Doctors Without Borders warns him against it. Erik decides to do something about the terrible abuses, but can't prevent that his hidden past is catching up with him. PRAISE FOR VAN CAMPEN: 'May I call you the Dutch John le Carré' Alphonse Muambi, Congolese Journalist. 'I must say, this is an exciting book.' Pim van Galen, Journalist at Dutch Public Television (NOS). 'We may be able to stop the bleeding, but not the bullets.' Cecile Dehopre, Doctors without Borders, Amsterdam. 'Van Campen makes people aware and confronts them with child labour, working conditions and conflict minerals in Congo's current mining industry.' Bas van Abel, founder of Fairphone. 'This book is a revelation, after you read it, you will never mindlessly make use of a mobile phone!' Charles den Tex, thriller writer.

The race for limitless energy takes a dramatic turn. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), under construction in France, aims to replicate the sun's helium fusion process using a Tokamak. However, the project faces significant delays. Amidst these delays, a French start-up achieves a ground breaking feat by successfully fusing hydrogen and solar heat. This innovation leads to the creation of Hysoplasm, or HSP - a cheap, abundant and sustainable energy source. But this development doesn't sit well with those invested in traditional energy sectors. Key players in the Oil, Gas and Finance Industries in Brussels are alarmed. To counter this emerging threat, they turn to Chris Towers, a formidable and unscrupulous lobbyist. Towers finds himself in a clandestine meeting with EU Commissioner Manuel Rojas, responsible for Climate Action and Energy Union, in an obscure café in Brussels. This is a story about the high-stakes world of energy politics, where technological breakthroughs clash with entrenched interests, whilst the future of global energy is at play. 'Which interests stand in the way of real climate solutions? This eco-thriller tells a story of the fight of a start-up against the fossil industry. It introduces HSP as an abundant, renewable energy for a cleaner future.' Pim van Galen, journalist at Dutch Public Television. 'A fascinating and well-timed story.' Ton van Uffel, energy and chemistry expert. 'This book convinces with the sincerity of the plot and the richness of the details. It deserves a wider audience than just environmental geeks. Captive reading.' Jochem Visser, lawyer. 'Fighting injustice is tempting and honourable but not easy.' Roberto Bastida Caracuel, port development manager.
