When Bostonian John Quincy Winterslip is sent to Hawaii to retrieve his elderly Aunt Minerva, who has stayed with relatives in Hawaii long past the time she (and they) had originally intended, he fully expects to return home quickly. Though his family tree has long had "wanderers," one of whom has settled in Hawaii, John Quincy knows HE is far too sensible to succumb to Hawaii's charms. His Boston Brahmin roots, his successful investment business, and his "appropriate," family-approved fiancee are all luring him back home. Shortly after his arrival in Honolulu, however, his uncle Dan Winterslip, with whom he is staying, is murdered in his Waikiki home. Assigned to investigate this murder is Honolulu Detective Charlie Chan.

Third volume in the classic series, and the first to feature superman Kimball Kinnison. The pirates of Boskone raided at will, menacing the whole structure of interstellar civilization. Masterminded by a super-scientist, their fleets outgunned even the mighty space cruisers of the Galactic Patrol. Lensman Kimball Kinnision of the Patrol found the secret Boskonian base. It was impenetrable to outside attack, but a single infiltrator MIGHT penetrate its defenses, if he wanted to take on million-to-one odds. Kinnison took them, under the impression that he was combatting normal beings. When his lens touched the mind of an Eddorian, a monster from beyond time and space, he realized that the future of a galaxy depended upon his ability to get out alive.

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward better known by his pen-name, Sax Rohmer created one of literature's evilest villian in Dr. Fu Manchu (rivaling Sherlock Holmes arch villian Professor Moriarty). He published his first Fu Manchu novel in 1912. It was an immediate success, with its fast-paced story of Denis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie facing the worldwide conspiracy of the 'Yellow Peril'. The first three Fu Manchu books were published in the four years 1913–17; but it was not until 1931 (some fourteen years after the third book in the series) that Rohmer returned to the series with The Daughter of Fu Manchu. In the twenty-eight years from 1931 to 1959, Rohmer added no fewer than ten new books to the Fu Manchu series, meaning the series totals thirteen books in all (not counting the posthumous collection The Wrath of Fu Manchu). Swedish American actor Warner Oland played Dr. Fu Manchu in four movies from 1929-31 before leaving the role for Charlie Chan movies. The Fu Manchu series drew much criticism from the Chinese government and Chinese communities in the US for what was seeing as negative ethnic stereotyping.Sociologist Virginia Berridge notes Rohmer created a false image of London's Chinese community as crime-ridden, noting the Limehouse Chinese were one of the most law-abiding of London's ethnic minorities.
