Rating: Summary: great Review: This is the first of the Fu Manchu books. It is a lot like a Sherlock Holmes story set years in the future. Very exciting stuff. Dr Fu Manchu is also really mean!
Rating: Summary: A unique and modern Doctor of Evil... Review: While 'The Insidious Dr. Fun Manchu' was first published in novel form in 1913, I found him to be a refreshing villain. A cruel, ruthless criminal mind who happened to be the main character of the book. He is, after all, the title character. He was not the Hero's punching bag. Far from it. Most of the time this Master of Evil WON. You can see the ghost of this great character within every evil genius of a James Bond film, but also you can find him being used by today's writers. He is in Kim Newman's 'Anno Dracula' and is even a major character in Alan Moore's graphic novel, 'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. I WILL get as many of the other books as I can get my hands on!
