Title: A wild wild roller coaster ride.
Review: I picked up this audio book not knowing what to expect. Boy was I blown away. It is exciting and compelling throughout. Now I admit that some of Mercer's escapades are a little fantastic, the book is enjoyable nonetheless. Du Brul's attention to historical and socio-political overtones also adds to the book and helps put the characters and their motivations into context.This book will remind you of Indiana Jones for numerous reasons, but the strength of the supporting cast and their characterization make it better than any movie.A small warning...while not overdone, some portions of this book are graphically violent. It does not diminish the story but I thought I should warn you.
