4.0 out of 5 stars Those "Modern Musketeers" battle Satan once again., 24 April 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gateway to Hell (Hardcover)

Rex Van Ryn has disappeared having withdrawn over a million dollars from his family bank in Buenos Aires. On hearing of his friends strange disappearance the Duc de Richleau, Simon and Richard embark on a mission to find their old friend. Little do they now that once again they will have to pit themsleves against the powers of darkness to rescue Rex. Another very good Occult novel by Dennis Wheatley.

1.0 out of 5 stars At his worst, 18 Sep 2008

By	Fredward Beasley (West of Ireland) - See all my reviews

This is another of Wheatley's "Black Magic" stories featuring the Duc de Richleau, Simon, Richard and Rex. Wheatley is at his most tired and formulaic, leading up to a tedious conclusion part swashbuckler, part supernatural.
Wheatley's politics are at their most questionable here, given that the plot centres on the notion that the Black Power movement was run by satanists and followed by gullible cretins(and zombies). The satanic leaders of the movement are of various nationalities, none English of course, principally a dapper Spanish gentleman and a German ex-Nazi general with sadistic tendencies and an improbably poor grasp of English sentence structure.
Plot developments also go beyond the limits of credibility, especially the ridiculous method the Duc uses to free his friends from police custody and suspicion of murder in the early part of the book.

From my reading of Dennis Wheatley he was far more prolific than was good for his quality control, though he wrote a few first-class thrillers(the first Wheatley book I read, The Shadow of Tyburn Tree, is still a personal favourite). My initial enthusiasm for his novels has waned and I think I'll give him a miss for a while. Gateway to Hell is one of the weakest, most irritating and plain stupid of all his books.
