A YOUNG San Francisco physician, Robert Berkley by name, is decoyed to the schooner Manatee and carried out to sea. He is treated with the greatest respect, but is told that he can never return to his native land. A beautiful young girl named Callisa is a member of the party on the schooner, and Berkley falls in love with her, though love is a thing forbidden in the Land of Lost Hope, to which they are going. One day, forgetful of warnings, he kisses her, which, according to the law of the land, means her death.On entering port Berkley is made kodar of the island, second in position to the king alone, and is instructed in his duties-one of which is escorting to a certain place of death all condemned persons. Callisa is the youngest daughter of the king, and, upon learning of her disobedience, he orders her to be driven out on the streets in disgrace to await her execution. On hearing the king's terrible words, Berkley brands upon Callisa's arm his chosen mark, which insures respect to anything that bears it.

Johnston McCulley (1883-1958) was a police reporter before he became proflic and successful writer for pulp magazines and for Hollywood. His serial, "The Curse of Capistrano," published in All-Story Magazine in 1919, made him world famous the following year when the film version, starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., was released under the title The Mark of Zorro. The rest, as they say, is history. A total of sixty-five Zorro stories appeared in subsequent decades, along with a great variety of non-Zorro material, in such magazines as Argosy, and West. He virtually invented the masked-avenger genre with such characters as the Green Ghost, the Thunderbolt, and the Crimsoon Clown. His screen credits extended over many years, from Brute Breaker (1919) to The Ice Flood (1926) and Doomed Caravan (1941). "The Black Star" is an exciting tale of crime and adventure, the first in a series.

The Mark of Zorro (1924) is a novel by Johnston McCulley. Originally published as The Curse of Capistrano (1919), McCulley's novel was rereleased to capitalize on the success of the 1920 silent film of the same name starring Douglas Fairbanks. Beloved by generations of readers and moviegoers alike, Zorro is recognized as a symbol of justice and rebellion throughout the world. "Outside the wind shrieked and the rain dashed against the ground in a solid sheet. It was a typical February storm for southern California. At the missions the frailes had cared for the stock and had closed the buildings for the night. At every great hacienda big fires were burning in the houses. The timid natives kept to their little adobe huts, glad for shelter." While the rich live in comfort, warm and safe from the wind and driving rain, the poor Californian people hide in their makeshift homes, fearful not just of the weather, but of the governor and his vicious soldiers. Oppressed for so long, they have nearly given up hope when a masked man arrives, a swordsman by the name of Zorro. As news of his actions spreads, revealing his knack for stealing from the rich in order to give the poor their due, the governor sends his most ruthless officer to put a stop to the vigilante, once and for all. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Johnston McCulley's The Mark of Zorro is a classic of American pulp fiction reimagined for modern readers.
