The Island of Fu ManchuWhen Sir. Denis Nayland Smith and Bart Kerrigan follow Fu Manchu from London to New York, they have no clue they are soon to find themselves in the Panama Canal Zone, or of the deadly encounters that await them in Haiti, the Island of Voodoo. They must come up against the death of the snapping fingers, the talking mummy head, zombies, the green snake and much more...before they can finally meet the full force of Fu Manchu. But what macabre fate awaits them when they finally do? This and several other short stories, including The Wrath of Fu Manchu, make up the fifth in Allison and Busby's series of omnibus editions collecting Sax Rohmer's tales of the insidious Fu Manchu.

'Island' is actually out of sequence since it really should be in an earlier omnibus.
'Wrath of Fu Manchu' is a short story collection published after the death of Rohmer. Most of the Stories were written in the late fifties (Rohmer died in 1959)
Only 4 stories feature Fu Manchu, but all of them are very good. The other tales are a mixed bag, but generally the quality is very high.
It pleases me that Rohmer's writing remained so good at the end of his career, and he deserves more recognition.
I can heartily recommend these Allison and Busby U.K. editions, the set of all 5 volumes looks great on the shelf, and is a very convenient way of obtaining the whole series.
4 Stars. (
