Summary: Robbins outcussles Cussler
Review: That summary reflects this book's displacement of Cussler's Sahara as tops in the "Did Anybody Edit This Book?" category. I don't know what possessed me to complete this novel. The (accidental?) switch from first person to third person narrative voice for a couple of chapters in the middle should have signaled me to stop. For light reading, stick with Nelson DeMille or old Ludlum

Summary: Piranhas--A Dangerous Bite!
Review: The Piranhas is a story that only ole' Harold could write. It is explosive with sex, violence, betrayal, and corrupt Wallstreet dealings. The book, as with most of Robbins' work deals with the issues of power and lust, how a man can achieve them, and how a man reacts when it has it all. The characterization is titanic, as well. Robbins illustrates his characters with all the temptations and emotions a man must face. The Piranhas proves again that Harold Robbins is the best American writer of modern time.
