Narrado por: Adam Warlock

The first and ultimate Steampulp novel, Khan Dynasty features an epic adventure spanning two centuries in time and linking the incredible lives of history's most popular Victorian Age adventurers of the 1800s with the greatest action heroes of the Pulp Era and an assortment of well-known, real-life figures.

Beginning in Cairo, Egypt, nearly a century in the past, a series of seemingly random events lead to danger and intrigue, as two generations of heroes race to stop a diabolical duo from unleashing a devastating wave of death and destruction. Is there a dark alliance between the Victorian man-monster Edward Hyde and the insidious devil-doctor Hunan Sun? What is the deadly secret of the mysterious Chimera?

In this completely original action-packed story, four champions of justice, Doc Titan: The Ultimate Man, The Darkness: The Master of Shadows, Guardian: Steel and Ice Justice, and The Scorpion: The Deadliest Man Alive, race to unravel a century old mystery and prevent the destruction of England and America, while the nations of the Earth teeter on the brink of another world war.

In addition to the 1930's pulp heroes, Pulp Heroes - Khan Dynasty also features famous fictional characters from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly's Frankenstein, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Professor Challenger series, Chester Hawks' Captain Hazzard, J.H. Rosny's Ironcastle, John W. Campbell's Who Goes There?/Thing from Another World, H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Philip Wylie's Savage Gentleman and Gladiator, and many more.

This standalone story novel is the prequel to the bestseller Pulp Heroes - More Than Mortal.

Ponderously slow and boring

I have read the other books in this trilogy but it seems like THEY were written by someone else. This book seems more like a historical novel than an adventure story, which I was expecting. I tried several times to complete this book but it was so dull and to top it off the monotone delivery made it even more boring. I can’t stress it enough, don’t waste your time.
