The Adventurers is a story of revolution and danger in the sultry jungles of South America. As a young boy, Diogenes Alejandro Xenos (“Dax”) witnesses the brutal rape and murder of his mother and sister by government troops—experiencing the drama of revolution, loss, and tragedy firsthand. He is sent to Europe by the victorious rebel leader to rebuild his country’s diplomatic and financial status post-revolution, and is immediately thrown into the elite environment of Europe’s jet set society of international bankers and diplomats. Outwardly, Dax lives a life of privilege as one of the continent’s most sought-after, hedonistic playboys—wanted by men and women alike, but for very different reasons. Inside, however, he channels his fear, anger and hatred for the new regime, which he realizes is as corrupt as the old, into a desire to disrupt the status quo. Once a favorite of the general-turned-dictator, Dax quickly becomes an outlaw in his own country, living on the fringes of society as a rebel hell-bent on a new revolution. 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, a globe-spanning variety of exotic locales, and themes that never seem to change—political intrigue, greed, power, money, violence, sex and betrayal. With Dax Xenos, Robbins thrills and excites us with one of his most memorable and intriguing characters—a flawed and complicated hero. The Adventurers was one of Robbins’ most successful novels, spending 41 weeks on The New York Times best sellers list. Today, this novel easily proves that Robbins’ compelling prose still has the power to surprise, titillate, and move readers. About The Author Harold Robbins (1916–1997) is one of the best-selling American fiction writers of all time, ranking 5th on the World’s Best-Selling Fiction Author List just behind William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie. He wrote over 25 best-selling novels, sold more than 750 million copies in 42 languages and spent over 300 weeks combined on The New York Times best sellers list. His books were adapted into 13 commercially successful films and also television series that garnered numerous Oscar®, Golden Globe® and Primetime Emmy® nominations starring Steve McQueen, Elvis Presley, Laurence Olivier, Bette Davis, Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones and more. The self-proclaimed “world’s best writer in plain English,” Robbins wrote novels that resonated with audiences due to their graphic depictions of sex, violence, power and drugs, and the multilayered complexities of his characters, as evidenced by his best-selling novels Never Love a Stranger, The Carpetbaggers, Where Love Has Gone, and The Adventurers. He once said in an interview: “People make their own choices every day about what they are willing to do. We don’t have the right to judge them or label them. At least walk in their shoes before you do.” Robbins’ personal life was as fascinating to the public as his novels. An enthusiastic participant in the social and sexual revolution of the 1960s, Robbins cultivated a “playboy” image and maintained friendships with stars including Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis, Jr.

     Sierra Hall hasn't been home for years because she hates her father. Between blaming him for her brother's death and his business ties to crime boss James Northrop, she would rather run wild. But Richard Hall wants his daughter back so he can convince her to marry James, and he uses the one man he has leverage on, to find her. It is hard for Chad Pender to care for anyone. Full of regret and living one day at a time, Chad Pender can't forget his best friend's death. Scott Hall was the reason Chad joined the Shadow Souls MC, but Richard's shady dealings cost Scott his life. Chad was there when Scott died and can't shake the guilt; remorse so strong he's willing to help the man who could cause him to lose everything. Two strangers thrown together, unaware of their common bond. Finding Sierra is only the beginning for Chad. Sierra never knew Chad and Scott were friends, but she wishes she had met him sooner. When she convinces him to forget his mission, events are set in motion that could pull them apart. Her father is determined to find her, and when Chad reneges, Richard turns the Shadow Souls against him with lies about Chad's involvement with James that led to Scott's death. EXCERPT What would Chad say? Would he tell her the whole truth? Would he tell her about Scott’s death and about working for her father? About the guilt? She didn’t need that. Would he tell her anything about her father? If he lied, that would probably just be worse, but he could disguise the truth a little…maybe. She most likely wanted answers about her brother, about everything that happened that night, about what he was involved in before he died. He could give her that in some small way; he could give her some aspect of the truth of the situation – not all of it, never all of it. All of it would ruin everything he was trying to accomplish here… …Chad was not at all what Sierra imagined he would look like. He was tall with sandy brown hair. His eyes were a penetrating blue stare that took her by surprise with their intensity. He had a little red cut under his chin, probably from shaving. He was wearing a blue button-down, dark wash jeans, and leather boots. His shirt wasn’t tucked in and was wrinkled. Bachelor, probably has been his whole life. His left ear was pierced, but he didn’t have any jewelry in it. He was definitely more attractive than she could’ve possibly expected.
