Title: Not one of DeMille's best
Review: The premise of the story is exciting but DeMille seems to be writing much of it just to fill pages. It becomes tedious. The story could (and should) have been written in about 25% less pages. Filling out characters and story lines only works to a certain point, then it becomes pedantic. I skipped many pages because they did absolutely nothing to enrich the story. They were just filler. One of DeMille' s earlier works so it can be forgiven. He's developed into one of my favorite authors, but this one missed the mark for me.
