archaeologist Dr. Spiridon Simos. A chance encounter with a
beautiful Egyptian woman at Dr. Simos' wedding in Corfu leads the
young man on a whirlwind journey to Cairo where he barely survives
the terrifying reincarnation of the ancient Pharaoh Khunum-Khufu. A
chain of events quickly unfold that embroils Knox with obsessive

piece together the threat posed to the world as Fu Manchu and his
seductive, but sadistic daughter Koreani tear the dread secret
society, the Si-Fan, apart. Before Michael Knox can act on the
intelligence in his possession, he must first survive death in a

dwarf assassin who brings terror to the Orient Express, to one
thousand poisonous butterflies unleashed at the Munich Conference
as Europe teeters on the brink of a Second World War. As madness
sweeps the globe, one hedonistic young man must examine his own
life as he realizes the world's future hangs in the balance. The
action moves swiftly from Greece to Egypt to Africa to Europe in a
breathtaking battle of ideologies as Sax Rohmer's infamous creation
seeks to realize THE DESTINY OF FU MANCHU...

GANGSTERS & GUNMOLLS It was the 1930s and America was locked in
the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major
cities while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time
of Speak Easy gin-joints, Tommy-guns, fast cars and even faster
dames. This is the world of New York based Private Investigator
Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back
alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is
the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for
justice. So if you've got a taste for hot lead and knuckle
sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora and light up a
Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way. Created by
pulp masters, Bobby Nash & Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the
tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own
brand of two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew
Salmon & William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of
purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover
of private eye fiction.
