The Mark of Zorro

by Johnston McCulley

Overview

To free his people, a masked rider goes to war against an empire in this swashbuckling adventure story

In the untamed wilds of California, evil reigns at the mission of Los Angeles. A sinister governor grinds his subjects beneath his boot, bleeding them dry for the sake of the Spanish crown. Only one man dares challenge him. By day, Don Diego Vega is a debonair playboy known for his devil-may-care attitude. But by night, he dons a black mask and a black cape, and fights in the name of justice. When he bests his enemies, he carves a Z in their cheek: the mark of Zorro.

The inspiration for countless films, comic books, and stories, The Mark of Zorro is one of the great action novels of all time.

Editorial Reviews

Daring, Dashing and Delightful!

Originally released as a serialized novel, each chapter reads as a mini-story thus producing a loosely connected full novel. Zorro, aka Don Diego, wages war single-handedly against the corrupted and aids the downtrodden
