The Looters is both exciting and educational. The buildup of compressed tension in the first half of the book was extraordinary, while the unraveling of the plot was skillful, interesting and well thought out. I found the insight into archeological colleactibles interesting compensation for an educational hiatus. Don't believe those claiming this books is replete with sex and violence. True, there is some violence, but it is the validated threat of violence which helps produce tension. I must have missed the steamy sex scenes, while recalling more reference to sex than participation, and vocalizing a hurrah! for the author's prescient awareness that our choice of sexual partners is neither rational nor predicatable. One of the few books I can recommend witout reservation. Enjoy!

Like some of the other reviewers I gave up on Robbins. Then a relative sent me "Blood Royale". I then started reading the other books in the series. This entry had a little too much gratuitous sex and violence for my taste. BUT I have not given up on the authors. Let's see how the "Deceivers" is.

I bought this book for my cousin. He couldn't thank me enough. He said once he started reading it; he couldn't put it down and when he wasn't reading it he was thinking about it. Now I have to read it because he is the best critic I know.
