Romance and Adventure :)

I highly recommend this wonderful book. :) Although I didn't understand a lot of the finer points, I was captivated by this story when I was 16, spending several weeks fascinated by Dax and his Latin American adventures. Someday I'll re-read it to recapture the magic.

the adventures of Dax and Fat Cat make a for a great read

I read this great tale - the adventures of Dax and his pal Fat Cat - ages ago when I was a young teenager and thought it was a great book then. In clearing out my house, i came across it again and have just re-read it - and it was just as good and just as powerful. If you are are looking for a great tale - check it out!

The movie was good

I hadn't read the book but the movie was great.I like The Betsy and The Carpetbaggers even better.A friend told me to read The Stallion,I plan to buy it in paperback soon.But I like the film versions better.

Contemporary fiction at its best!

If you expect literature, read something else. This book is a classic is its own right, and is much better than the trash churned by other writers in this genre, such as Jackie Collins.The Adventurers is the story of Diogenes Alejandro Xenos, or just Dax. The book follows his struggles against circumstances and for his country, how his family becomes the victim of yet another revolution perpetrated in the name of justice. Graphic sex and violent scenes are depicted here, but not unnecessarily. Every word gives an insight into the development of the main character.You will be thrilled reading this book, you will have moments of elation, and of sadness. And you will realize the futility of the struggles of the subjucated people in a number of third world countries. Harold Robbins very poignantly points out that for many of us, the more things change, the more they remain the same.Dax appeals to the hero in all of us. I recommend this book highly. I hope you enjoy it.

Why many boy's are now named "Dax".

If ever lived the idea of the men of men, Diogenous Alejandros Xenos is this character. Dax is a phenomenon which makes me wonder if this is an extention of Harold Robbin's innerself, or the ideal man which many men would love to be represented as. READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT WHY!!! It is very violent, depicting rape and torture but these atrocities set into play the character Dax becomes. Set against the tale of a South American country's struggle for liberation, Dax becomes a foster child of the revolution, and this is only the beginning. A must read for every man.
