Not since A stone for Danny Fisher and Never love a stranger has Harold Robbins portrayed our eternal obsession with greed, desire, and blind ambition so vividly. The predators will take you on a wild odyssey through the gaudy and reckless life of Jerry Cooper: his struggles to survive in Depression-era New York; his years in Europe during the Second World War; his friends, his lovers, his life in organized crime; and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business. More than any of his other books. The predators is Harold Robbins's crowning achievement--the defining work of his writing career, the summation of his life.
