Fucking last time I go to an airport without a book I tell you what.
>The author cannot wait until the second chapter is finished to have his pair of tits he calls a female lead naked and bathing.
>Everyone else is naked and bathing in the same "ancient bath" with "mysteriously fresh water"
>Our hero, in full view of the other characters, in the middle of the water everyone is bathing in, stares at the girl swimming and jerks himself off
>the girl is passed from character to character like a football
>every time he writes himself into a corner everything magically works out fine for no reason loosely justified by the pair of tits or the non-main lead says "IT MUST HAVE BEEN GOD."
I always thought I knew how bad the average thriller was but this was outright shocking.

I bought this for twenty dollars at an airport, and I appreciate I should have known better to not by Airport Thrillers, but I could have used a simple knock-off Indiana Jones to pass a few flights
>First chapter is %100 utterly mediocre prologue, I know this book will not be great
>By the second chapter DeMille has contrived a reason for the three leads, two male and one female, to all be naked in some ancient ruin "Bath" with inexplicably clean water. DeMille fails to describe the two male leads in any way, skips straight to multiple paragraph physical description of the naked female lead, paragraph ends with both men being erect, and after a single page the young male lead attractively jerks off while staring at her like a serial killer, before ejaculating into the water they're all swimming in.
And by the way the female lead was ostensibly the older male's (not the one that was jerking off) girlfriend, although the two males fuck her back and forth about seven times each throughout the book.
Every time I finished a chapter, I thought to myself "Wow, that was it, that's the nadir. It can't get worse" and it would keep proving me wrong.
Highly recommended.
