Product Description

Product Description

Why would a man rob his family bank to make off with more than a million dollars? Yet that is what Rex van Ryn seems to have done before vanishing without trace in Buenos Aires. The Duke de Richleau and his friends have their suspicions about the ex-SS Gruppenfuhrer with whom Rex is alleged to have been consorting - but that is only the beginning of the mystery. On a trail to the heart of the desolate Bolivian Andes, Rez's friends once again confront the abominable orgiastic rites of the Satanists and a Devil-inspired plan to bring open race war to the cities of the world...'Never lets you down. Excitement is crammed into every page' - Howard Spring, "Evening Standard'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Those "Modern Musketeers" battle Satan once again., 23 April 2002

Rex Van Ryn has disappeared having withdrawn over a million dollars from his family bank in Buenos Aires.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 Mark Wallace (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.
