|author=Sax Rohmer
|publisher=Titan Books
|date=May 2012
|summary=Sax Rohmer's third Fu-Manchu book is rather similar to the first two - but why change a winning formula? If you're not bothered by outdated attitudes and are looking for an exciting read which you won't want to put down, this series does the job better than most written in the century or so since its original publication.

Slight spoilers for the first two books, [[The Mystery of Dr Fu Manchu by Sax Rohmer|The Mystery of Dr Fu Manchu]] and [[Fu Manchu - The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu by Sax Rohmer|Fu Manchu - The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu]] below. You've been warned!
Anything between a mild and really strong recommendation depending on personal tastes. I’m completely hooked on it as a series and if I got my hands on the remaining 11 today I’m pretty sure I’d finish them all within a fortnight! As always with these rereleases, special mention for the spellbinding cover – great work.
For more action from a similar period, I love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - both the Holmes novels and the lesser-known classic [[The Complete Brigadier Gerard Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|The Complete Brigadier Gerard Stories]] by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. [[Sax Rohmer's Dr Fu Manchu Series in Chronological Order]]
