Editorial Reviews

Think of HAND OF FU MANCHU as the literary equivalent to the movie serials of the 30s and early 40s. It’s popcorn reading, if there is such a thing, that makes no demands on its readers and just strives to entertain. And entertain it does.” – Ravenous Monster

“Handsome and very affordable." – BlackGate
