Publisher's Summary:
Ruthless, unscrupulous, devastatingly handsome, and insatiable Judd Crane, the richest man in the world, has everything a man could want in life: an endless supply of money, women, power, and sex. But despite his vast riches, he realizes that he cannot escape death.
From the author of The New York Times number one best-selling novel The Carpetbaggers comes a tale of a fierce obsession - immortality. Determined to cheat death, Judd embarks on a dangerous path from Yugoslavia to China, from the sheltered paradise of his lush private island to a secret atomic city in the jungles of Brazil. Along the way, Judd will stop at nothing to find what he's looking for - including chancing death, endangering his fortune, outmaneuvering foreign agents, and, ultimately, risking both his business empire and the woman he loves - until the very last second, when he discovers the most vital secret of all.
With over 16 weeks on The New York Times best sellers list, this novel of intrigue, decadence, and ruthless determination is pure storytelling - sure to keep you listening.
Critic Reviews:
"Robbins brought four-letter words and kinky sex out of the dirty bookstore and onto the bedside table of mainstream America." (USA Today)
Members Reviews:
Not his best but has some of his signature graphic sex
One of Robbins' "I'm running out of money" novels. Not his best but has some of his signature graphic sex. I am repulsed by the frequent use of cocaine included in the novel as if it would be a good thing.
Descent From Xanadu
This story kept your attention from line to line with spine tingling effects. You felt as though you were part of the scene. Great ending.
Xanadu
Too much like all the other Robbins' books.only names and locations change, minor modifications to the plot, but basically just another page turner.
Descent Drom Xanadu
Another of Harold Robbins erotic thrillers. Not as good as some of his others, but written in his usual style.
Slow moving, convoluted, and confusing
Reads more like science fiction than a typical Harold Robbins romance novel. Sex and drugs do not a first rate romance novel make. Now I know why I had. never read this particular book.
