Review:

"Splendid stuff... Fu-Manchu is one of the most iconic characters of the 20th century and as much a household name Sherlock Holmes and James Bond." --Crime Time

"A gloriously tawdry, breathless, cheesy, addictive series now given a delightful new incarnation by London publisher Titan Books." --Open Letters Monthly

"The best description of this is probably pulp fiction at its pulpiest...personally, I'm anxiously awaiting the others in the series." --The Bookbag

"This is a wild ride read and I recommend it highly." --Vic'sMediaRoom

"This is an endlessly stimulating gothic cathedral of a novel, a world to wander in - surprised, affected, diverted and perplexed - for weeks on end." --Times Literary Supplement

"Fu Manchu is a master manipulator and a delightfully cunning villain. --Gutenbergs Son
