Some fairly solid sex about every fifty pages, a couple of good punchups per book, and a jolly romp through the lifestyles of the rich and not-needing-to-do-anything-real. "White Ninja" follows the pattern, but attempts to add a touch of high tech. As a side issue, your reasonably stereotypical computer nerd/genius creates a super virus. In true adventure fiction fashion, though, it isn't a virus at all. It doesn't reproduce, but attempts to break into systems. It's a dab hand at it, too, eventually breaking into a computer that isn't connected to anything. (I'm not entirely sure, but the computer may not even be turned on at the time.) copyright Robert M.
