The Definitive Sax Rohmer Omnibus

The Insidious Fu Manchu and 21 Classic Rohmer Novels

De: Sax Rohmer

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Sax Rohmer invented the modern criminal mastermind — and then spent four decades writing thrillers that never let him go. THE SAX ROHMER OMNIBUS collects every one of his novels and story cycles now in the public domain: twenty-one works in all, from the three novels that made Dr. Fu-Manchu a household name to the parallel case files of the master-of-disguise detective Gaston Max, the occult dream-visions of Moris Klaw, the Egyptian sorceresses and Limehouse gangs of his short fiction, the country-house conspiracies of Paul Harley, and eight further standalone thrillers spanning Rohmer's entire public-domain career, from his first novel in 1914 to his last eligible work in 1930.

Poisoned darts. Trained centipedes. A witch-queen's altar. A vigilante blackmailing the rich of London. A haunted grange. A stolen slipper of the Prophet. Every strain of Rohmer's pulp imagination, arranged across seven parts, each with its own introduction and a reserved frontispiece page for illustration — one continuous shelf of Edwardian and Jazz-Age adventure fiction, unabridged and unaltered from the original texts.
