This book was one of those books that you will read and never want to stop reading. I just finished reading it, but was very disappointed with the way it ended. I am going to look to see if there is a sequence to it, like that of "The Carpetbargers". When I lived in the island of Trinidad, I had seen the movie on television. I am also going to look to see if I can find it here.

Harold Robins has master minded a fiction on Arab legacy. He has protrayed Arab culture, their love for lust and style of life in sea, so truely that I was unable to go to bed with unfinished book. The author's vision and sense of imagination is amazing and probably intutive. Library must have such books.

i have read every harold robbins that he has ever written and have NEVER been disappointed.remember - what he himself has written.
