Filled with the drama, searing sensuality, and passion that are Harold Robbins' trademarks, THE RAIDERS continues the Cord family saga, pitting Jonas Cord, Jr., against his illegitimate son, Bat, in a struggle for control of a vast fortune. With the help of his father's legendary sidekick, Nevada Smith, Jonas moves his billion-dollar enterprise to Las Vegas and Cuba, where he incurs the wrath of the Mob, and beds a beautiful, sexy blonde with a secret past. A cutthroat competition for the Cord empire ensues. Bat has inherited his father's charisma, drive, and lust for power-and the two men move easily in the worlds of Jack and Bobby Kennedy, Jimmy Hoffa, Che Guevara, and notorious Hollywood stars and hustlers.
Set in an atmosphere of wealth, decadence, and unbridled sexuality, ranging in scene from Las Vegas to Mexico City, New York, and Havana, THE RAIDERS is an electrifying tale by one of the best-loved and most enduring novelists of all time.
