Going in, I expected this to be one of those men's adventure pulps that were popular back in the 60s, with the chief focus being on lots of sex and lots of violence.

I was wrong, because while there is sex and violence, it was never in copious amounts nor was it the chief attraction. They're there, but only as the plot dictates and the plot didn't dictate for it much.

The writing was good and was the prime driver for the book. The plot was basic, but the writing and dialogue more than made up for it.

3.75 stars.
