Harold Robbins

An epic saga of power, passion and revenge, set in a world of political intrigue and the international jet set, the story follows Dax Xenos, a young South American from the fictional country of Corteguay, whose life is shaped by tragedy, ambition and the

Dax's revolutionary father is assassinated during a political coup, and young Dax flees to Europe, where he grows up among the rich and powerful. He becomes a charming but ruthless player in the world of diplomacy, finance, and love. His rise from poor boy to influential diplomat and womanizer is marked by conflicts with political rivals, corrupt elites, and mistresses, including a femme fatale and an aristocratic heiress.

The novel explores themes of betrayal, greed, and trauma as Dax balances revenge for his father's death with his desire for personal success. The story spans decades, from the 1940s to the 1960s, and includes exotic locations such as South America, Paris, and New York.

Robbins's style is fast-paced, sensational, and full of drama, sex, and powerful emotions. Adventurers offer a glimpse into a world of wealth and corruption, where personal and political struggles shape destinies. Dax's charisma and internal conflicts make him a complex hero, and the novel celebrates and criticizes the world of ambition and adventure with a vivid narrative.
