In 1929 Sax Rohmer (Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward) thought he'd try for a new super-evil antagonist. Maybe tired of Fu-Manchu?
This book was a real failure, and remains so. It jumps around, the characters are cardboard, and the plot is thin. Roscoe is no Nayland Smith, and the Zones are no Si Fan.
But it is interesting, just the same. Glad to find it in Faded Page.
