The Adventures of Fu Manchu $10.00 MP3 CD - Based on the Fu Manchu books
by Sax Rohmer. The character of Fu Manchu epitomizes the fear of the "Yellow hopes, instead he chose the path of evil.
The heroes, Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie, relentlessly pursue Manchu through each of the tales". Manchu was a gifted
person who could have been one of mankind’s greatest. They have to overcome Manchu’s despicable use of weapons
like snakes, poison mist, drugs, etc. Very similar to Holmes/Watson
in that Nayland Smith, an officer in the British Army on special assignment, and his smart cohort Dr. James Petrie are
the savvy detectives who face Fu Manchu's many machinations. John Daly does a great, but restrained and cold-blooded
acting job as the insidious Dr. Fu.

novelization not only fills out the story told by the opera. but is also an interesting look into the California of Belasco's
mining camp childhood, and both counters the myths spread by dime novels while using them to get an audience for his tale.
