"Imagine a person, tall, lean, and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan..." FU-MANCHU EUROPE, 1939—the year before World War II and global chaos. A time of shadows, secret societies, and international conflict. Into this world on the brink comes the most fantastic emissary of evil society has ever known... In order to control the Si-Fan, and then the world, Fu-Manchu must assassinate the dictators who have brought Europe to the brink of war. This places Sir Denis Nayland Smith in the impossible position of defending warmongers who may be as evil as the Devil Doctor himself! ALSO IN THIS VOLUME: A LONG-LOST NAYLAND SMITH SHORT STORY! "Fu Manchu is one of the great villains in pop culture history, insidious and brilliant."—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling co-author of Baltimore: The Plague Ships AFTERWORD BY LESLIE S. KLINGER (THE ANNOTATED SANDMAN by Neil Gaiman)
