I Can compare this book to the move to Blood Diamond because there are diamond. In blood diamond they have to find the diamond's to get the man out of Africa. In Skeleton coast they have to get the diamond to keep the stoke mark steady. A nether thing that mack the book like move is there is a lot of gun fight. In the move the big action  bit in the move is when the rebel tack  over the city.

this book is about a team of Spy's. The boss of the team is Juan Cadrillo. They gust got a way from being offer run by rebels in the Congo river.On the way to back South Africa they save a raft from mercenaries. On the raft there was Sloane Macintyr. She works for a company that finds react ship's. Slonen was looking for the HMS Rove. She is looking for the Ship because in 1896 four Englishmen raced across the Merciless Kalahari desert  curring a fortune in raw diamonds  but they went missing.
