he Sultan in Atlantic City is the newest, biggest and most lavish casino in the world. Its clientele, an assortment of individuals with but one primary drive: to win money. Along, of course, with the expectation of having the kind of fun not readily available outside the boundaries of a casino. Certainly the Sultan's ambiance is designed to add spice to such appetites by reinforcing additional desires. For there are a number of other human appetites that will arise and demand to be fed throughout any visit.The time frame of The Sultan is one eventful day (with a number of clarifying flashbacks) when all of the characters interact with one another, all with different, conclusive outcomes that a reader is certain to enjoy.The plot centers around a gang of thugs who attempt to extort cash from the Sultan. But the bomb they smuggle in doesn't quite do the damage they hoped it would. Also, they hadn't figured on any interference from the gamblers, or the casino staff or well circumstances. Actually, they hadn't figured on much of anything except intimidating, posturing, and collecting those easy bucks.You will delight in the antics, the excitement, the successes and failures, and especially the determinations, which drive an array of strong characters; along with descriptive writing that puts you right in the middle of the action at the tables and with the gang who call themselves The Lords of the Swords.Readers who have never entered a casino will not only enjoy The Sultan, but will come to feel the excitement and have a better understanding of why gambling has proliferated so, not only throughout America, but in most other countries.
