"A little slow going although it was interesting to read a novel where the main character takes so long to make an entrance. One he does, however, the story picks up. As Rohmer fan, I enjoyed this one but others new to the author might want to start with his Fu Manchu novels." — Andrew (4 out of 5 stars)

" Early YELLOW PERIL story. Written before first Fu Manchu story, contains Fu Manchu prototype. Concerns opium use among upper class London women. If you like Rohmer, you will like this adventure. "
Sax Rohmer (1883–1959) was a prolific English mystery writer who was best known for creating the master criminal Dr. Fu-Manchu. Born Arthur Henry Ward in 1883 in Birmingham, England, to Irish parents, he received no formal schooling until he was about ten years old and worked in odd jobs before starting his writing career at age twenty. From the 1920s through the 1930s, Rohmer was one of the most widely read and highly paid magazine writers in the English language. After World War II, Rohmer moved to the United States and ultimately settled in White Plains, New York.
