Other editions of book The Hand of Fu-Manchu

A CANNON BOOKS REPRINT *The Hand of Fu-Manchu* Written by Sax Rohmer (1883 –1959), the 1917 novel was release in England (The Si-Fan Mysteries) and the United States (The Hand of Fu-Manchu), simultaneously. The Early Years: Rohmer’s first three Fu-Manchu novels were published in a block spanning 1913 – 1917. In these early years, Fu-Manchu (as a member of a secret cult, the Si-Fan) spearheads attacks against Western imperialists. These efforts are repeatedly thwarted by the books heroes, Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie. Book Three: THE HAND OF FU-MANCHU -- Snatching up my pistol from the table I turned. Like some evil jinn of Arabian lore, Dr. Fu-Manchu, surrounded by a slight mist, stood looking at me! Instantly I raised the pistol, leveled it steadily at the high, dome-like brow—and fired! There could be no possibility of missing at such short range, no possibility whatever . . . and in the very instant of pulling the trigger the mist cleared, the lineaments of Dr. Fu-Manchu melted magically. This was not the Chinese doctor who stood before me, at whose skull I still was pointing the deadly little weapon, into whose brain I had fired the bullet; it was Nayland Smith!

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.

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!"
