ENTER: THE EVIL GENIUS OF CRIME A sinister genius threatens the world with bio-terrorism in this 1905 chiller - the first book in the classic Fu-Manchu series. Determined to bring the world to its knees and see himself crowned its emperor, a mysterious figure begins striking down every government official with extensive knowledge of Pacific Rim affairs. Only one man is aware of this menace, Denis Nyland-Smith of Scotland Yard, and he has been marked for death! As he tells the only man he can trust, Dr. John Petrie: "Imagine a person, tall, lean and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan, a close-shaven skull, and long, magnetic eyes of the true cat-green. Invest him with .. cruel cunning ... with all the resources of science past and present, with all the resources, if you will, of a wealthy government--which, however, already has denied all knowledge of his existence. Imagine that awful being, and you have a mental picture of Dr. Fu-Manchu..." As S. Ferber writes on Amazon.com, "It's amazing how much action Sax Rohmer crams into this ... book. Before all is said and done, we have dealt with poisonous centipedes, opium dens, trapdoors, memory drugs, mummies, poison gas, thugees and dacoits, ship raids, hashish, zombies, poison mushrooms, swamp adder drugs and on and on Who cares if it's not PC? This is a ripper of a yarn!"
