After being out of print for far too long, Fu-Manchu is now back. Here's the three first novels:The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu (1913)This book is the first, the last, the everything! Meet arch-British sleuth Nyland Smith and his nemesis, the yellow peril incarnate: Dr. Fu-Mancu! |

The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu (1916)Personally, I prefer the title used for the serialisation: "The Devil
Doctor". Apparantly the Norwegian translator shared my views. It was published in
Norwegian under that name, and hence unresistable to my mother. (She was a nurse). |

The Hand of Fu Manchu (1917)Those that think the brick-sized novel is a product of the word processor, should think again. In the heyday of paper media, journalists could hammer their typewriters faster than their pansy descendants can cut'n'paste from the Internet. Arthur Sarsfield Ward was no exception. The Fu-Manchu books are heavy enough to be used as murder weapons, numbering 250 to 350 pages each. And it's really all one continuos story filling around a dozen volumes. Read and enjoy! |

BTW - There does exist a singularily good web site for all things Rohmer and Fu-Manchu. Look it up! |
