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.

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!

Sorry when it came to an end

Where does The Adventurers rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

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

Would you recommend The Adventurers to your friends? Why or why not?

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

Gave up after 11 hours

Couldn't finish. Not one likable adult character.
Senseless sex.
Good narrator but the book was a series of small loosely linked short stories about nasty people.

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.

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,.

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.
