|summary=The fourth in the Fu Manchu series seems slightly toned down from the craziness of the first three but is still well worth reading. I can't wait to get my hands on the other nine!

Warning: Spoilers for the first three books in this series below!
Overall, I think this is a slight step down from the first three in the series but it's comfortably worth recommending and (especially given the intriguing ending) I'm glad that I've got book five ready to start!
In addition to the Fu Manchu reprints, Titan's other superb series of rereleases is The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, bringing back the stories of some of the authors who picked up the character after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've read four or five and they're generally well worth reading, but the gem of the collection is undoubtedly [[The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Man From Hell by Barrie Roberts]], as Roberts comes as close as anyone I've seen to capturing the spirit of the Holmes canon perfectly.
