This is good old porn with a carefully told story of a Middle East family and its ties to wealth and politics. If Mr. Robbins is known for his graphic depiction of sex here he went one or several steps further to include just about every flavor of it. Read it at your own risk.
Barely remember this novel, but I know there was drugs, betrayal and really filthy sex. I was in high school when I read it and it blew my mind

In Badyr's leven staan twee vrouwen centraal: zijn ex-geliefde die nog steeds van hem houdt en de vrouw die op zoek is naar haar vader. Badyr doet zaken voor de rijkste oliesjeiks van het Midden-Oosten en is zelf ook schatrijk geworden. Hij kan iedere vrouw krijgen die hij wil. Maar hoe zit het met de twee vrouwen die hem niet los kunnen laten? Ondertussen komt hij met zijn werk klem te zitten in een gevaarlijk politiek spel. Wie kan hij nog vertrouwen? 'De piraat' is kenmerkend voor de thema's die Harold Robbins aansnijdt in zijn romans, zoals verlangen, roem en macht, maar deze keer speelt het zich af in complexe wereld van internationaal terrorisme en de olie-industrie. -
