About this ebook
The adventure-filled novels that introduced the world to the classic supervillain and his criminal organization.
The most brilliant criminal the world has ever seen, Fu-Manchu is an expert polyglot and master chemist, adept in the manipulation of the rarest and deadliest poisons. An agent of a secret society bent on controlling the world, his mere gaze is enough to dull the sharpest minds of Great Britain. It is up to police commissioner Nayland Smith and his loyal friend Dr. Petrie to track the devil doctor from the opium dens of the East End to the deserts of Egypt and put an end to his fiendish plans . . .
This series, originally written nearly a century ago, has become not only a pop-culture phenomenon—with the character Fu-Manchu appearing in films, on television, on the radio, and in comics—but also the subject of controversies and conversations about attitudes toward Asians at the time, as well as the historical relationship between East and West.
This volume includes the first three novels in this wild adventure series: The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu, The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu, and The Hand of Fu-Manchu.
