The Quest. --- by. --- Nelson DeMille. DeMille's Quest is another one of those quest for the holy Grail adventure novels. Just what the world needed. But this quest is just a little bit different. For one thing, it isn't set in Rome, it isn't set in Britain. Rather this one is set in the steamy jungles of Ethiopia. DeMille's characters are blessed, or cursed by their usual sense of wit. The novel features sadistic colonels Who love to torment their captives before executing them. The novel features scavenging horsemen who follow the circuit of battlefields in their own quest for the spoils of war: weapons, uniforms, food and drink, body parts. Well, you get the picture. DeMille has certainly forged another one of those novels sure to keep you entertained if not exactly enlightened. Fun to read if you like this king of book. For sure, Agatha Raisin it ain't.
