The Hand of Fu-Manchu (Classic Tales Edition)

De: Sax Rohmer

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

Dr. Fu-Manchu’s deathless existence seems to defy the very laws of nature itself. He has returned, and this time, he is not alone. Having teamed up with a ruthless terrorist organization, the Si-Fan, Fu-Manchu and his associates are determined to shift the balance of global power in their favor - and only Sir Denis Nayland Smith and his associates stand in their way.

“The hand that held my arm was bony and clawish; I could detect the presence of incredibly long finger nails - nails long as those of some buried vampire of the black ages! Choking down a cry of horror, I opened my eyes...and looked into the face of my guide. It was Dr. Fu-Manchu!”

A Classic Thriller

I read my first Fu Manchu novel when I was looking for light fiction after learning that Ian Fleming the author of the James Bond novels collected these novels as a young person. After reading the first book in the series I was hooked. This would have been in the 1980's. I read all of the remaining Fu Manchu novels in the order of their publication. I re-read all of these again and in order at a later date. My life has become much busier since that time and thanks to my Audible membership I can still read both light and serious literature while engaged in tasks that do not require my undivided attention. My great frustration is that only the first three titles had been released at that time as audiobooks on Audible. These were read by John Bolen. The reader of this series B.J. Harrison is also an excellent choice.

I thoroughly enjoyed this title and cannot wait to purchase the remaining books in this series as soon as they are released.
