Synopsis

The heir to an oil-rich Arab sheikdom is drawn into a global conspiracy of decadence, money, and terror in this gripping tale from the bestselling author.   He’s known as “the Pirate,” a millionaire business tycoon and globetrotting playboy who controls one of the most powerful oil-producing regions in the Middle East. A man of shocking contradictions, he is devoted to his business, his Muslim faith, and to the sensuous pleasures of the Western world. But Baydr Al Fay has a secret history that even he is unaware of—a story that began decades earlier in a raging desert sandstorm—and its shattering repercussions will be felt from Beirut to Paris to Los Angeles.   Baydr’s past and his vices have made him the target of a ruthless terrorist organization willing to hold his loved ones hostage. With his life, his family, and his empire threatened, the Pirate must now join forces with a sworn enemy to protect everything that he holds dear.   One of the most popular novelists of all time, Harold Robbins is an international phenomenon. With The Pirate, he delivers an epic tale of wealth, lust, secrets, terrorism, and international political intrigue that races at breakneck speed to every corner of the globe.

    A routine arrest. A rogue experiment. A mind rewritten. 
    Detective Rick Dietz never expected a simple bust to spiral into a case of genetic manipulation, psychological transformation—and murder. When his girlfriend, attorney Beth Hamilton, introduces him to Professor Ken Gormund, sparks fly. Gormund isn’t just a rival for Beth’s affections—he’s a brilliant geneticist operating on the edge of legality. 
    At his Cincinnati research facility, Gormund has perfected a technique to reengineer DNA, turning ordinary pets into flawless specimens. But his ambitions escalate when he abducts a young thief, Nat Jiminson, and uses his own genome as a template to reshape the boy’s mind and body. The results are stunning—until the virus mutates. 
    Jiminson becomes unstable. Violent. Dangerous. When Gormund decides to eliminate his creation, Jiminson escapes—taking Beth hostage in the process. 
    Now Dietz must navigate a maze of science, secrets, and betrayal. With Gormund as his uneasy ally, he races to stop a man who possesses the professor’s intellect and a criminal’s cunning. But can they outwit a mind engineered to be perfect?
