How is this book unique?Font adjustments & biography includedUnabridged (100% Original content)IllustratedAbout The Hand of Fu-Manchu by Sax RohmerDr Fu-Manchu is back once again! His very existence seemingly proves him immune from natural laws, a deathless incarnation of evil! And this time the Devil Doctor is not alone. Sir Denis Nayland Smith and his associates learn of a deadly organization that stalks the shadows. Their goal is to undermine the balance of global power, and they allow no one to stand in their way. They are the terrorist assassins known as the Si-Fan. Extract: "The hand that held my arm was bony and clawish; I could detect the presence of incredibly long finger nails--nails long as those of some buried vampire of the black ages! Choking down a cry of horror, I opened my eyes... and looked into the face of my guide. It was Dr. Fu-Manchu!"

"Who's there?" I called sharply.I turned and looked across the room. The window had been widely opened when I entered; and a faint fog haze hung in the apartment; seeming to veil the light of the shaded lamp. I watched the closed door intently; expecting every moment to see the knob turn. But nothing happened."Who's there?" I cried again; and; crossing the room; I threw open the door.The long corridor without; lighted only by one inhospitable lamp at a remote end; showed choked and yellowed with this same fog so characteristic of London in November. But nothing moved to right nor left of me. The New Louvre Hotel was in some respects yet incomplete; and the long passage in which I stood; despite its marble facings; had no air of comfort or good cheer; palatial it was; but inhospitable.

Prolific British author Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, who wrote under the pseudonym Sax Rohmer, brought to life the character Dr. Fu-Manchu, a brilliant criminal mastermind of Chinese descent. This archetype has gone on to become enormously appealing in popular culture, based in large part on the ingenious characterization that Rohmer sketched out in the Fu-Manchu series.

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (1883 – 1959), better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is best remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu. He issued the first Fu Manchu novel, in 1913. It was an immediate success. The Fu Manchu stories, together with his more conventional detective series characters—Paul Harley, Gaston Max, Red Kerry, Morris Klaw (an occult detective), and The Crime Magnet— made Rohmer one of the most successful and well-paid authors of the 1920s and 1930s.
