Publisher's Summary
Harold Robbins, a novelist known for steamy passion in his works, stirs up passion of a different kind in The Adventurers, a story of revolution and danger in the sultry jungles of South America.
As a young boy, Diogenes Alejandro Xenos, witnesses the murder of his mother and sister by a band of marauders. As "Dax" grows to adulthood, he channels his fear and hatred into a desire for revolution, swearing revenge on those in power as he upsets the status quo. His actions make him an outlaw, living on the fringes of society in a land turned upside down with corruption. He is wanted by men and women alike-but for very different reasons.
This epic tale of escape from the horrors of a third-world regime is one of Harold Robbins' most ambitious novels ever, combining his trademark sensuality with political intrigue and a globe-spanning variety of exotic locales. Lose yourself in The Adventurers.

still a great book
I read this when I was a teenager. so 40 some years later, i listened to it. what a great book. the reader was great too. i had forgotten even what the book was about, so it was like reading it fior the first time again. the characters were so well thought out and what a story it tells. I would recommend this book. beware there is a lot of sex in it.

Its not great lit, but it was very entertaining, I read the book years ago, and was excited when I saw it on audio.

I would recommend because you grow to care about the main character, its an very good story and will keep you interested.

World History with life and death
Ah... How I miss Harold Robbins books. What a great story teller. Of course a bit raw in sex and killing. OK, more than a bit.
The world history prior to WWII.. The rich and famous. The political nation building in South America from Europe to the USA. And, a story that ties it all together with the coming of age of boy from the hill country of a small South American dictatorship and its and the boys rise to recognition, fame, and...
What a great read! Thank you Audible!

WHAT A SAGA
This is a story spanning several generations. It is gripping, raw and exciting. It was hard not to sit and listen to all 25 hours at one time,.

long compelling story
it was just what I needed for a driving cross-country trip. a bit disappointed the way it ended, and became a little far-fetched. overall worth a listen.

Harald Robbins best book
Although HE. has written many exceptional novels I find this to be his best book that I used to read every few years and now listening to it gives me much pleasure.
My only regret is that it is never as good as reading it for the first time.

Phew, glad that’s over. How was it for you?
A somewhat longwinded Adventure in its middle but otherwise a good listen. A button for skipping the sex references would have been useful as there were so many and seemed to get in the way. Like being distracted by goings on sounds coming through your hotel room wall when your trying to read a book. The narration was excallente.

My first adventure with Harold Robbins
The Adventurers was the first of his books that I read many years ago. It has lost nothing with the passage of time and could have been written today. Robbins wrote powerful story’s full of larger than life but believable people .The Adventurers like any of his books is not for the delicate minded reader. All the sex and violence is in there but it’s written in a way that it belongs and the story would be pale without it. The reader was just right for the book and I’m wondering if he has narrated other Harold Robbins books that I intend to rediscover.

long and winding...I should have given up!
Too many characters,too interwoven. hard to follow with some very long pointless sections. I stuck with it, but shouldn't have!

All time favourite
This is one of the first adult books I have ever read and it one that sticks in your head and your heart forever. the audible version is good, easy to listen to. brought back lots of old feelings and memories. this is one of the books I recommend for people to read now listen to. I'm a fan of most johnras and I really enjoy this story..
