review 1: This short novel was originally published in FIVE NOVELS MONTHLY magazine in 1936, and has been brought back with the original cover and interior illustrations. The Galaxy Press editions that I've seen are all quite handsome volumes. It's listed in the Tales From the Orient section of their catalogue, which is accurate although the basics of the plot could have been told in just about any setting with a few minor adjustments. I never got much of a "feel" for China from the story, honestly. It's a fast-paced tale with a surprisingly intricate plot. There's a twist at the end that caught me by surprise, one of those things that should have been obvious in hindsight but was so well hidden that I was taken by surprise at how well everything tied up.
review 2: Thank... mores you Goodreads and Galaxy Press for this title as a first-reads giveaway. I won this a long time ago and finally got to reading it. I don't know why I didn't sooner since it is such a quick and easy read. The story moved along quickly with face pace. This story was good at first then halfway through I just lost a bit interest. I liked the setting, but it just felt rushed and I guess that's what these types of books were like back then. Pulp Fiction that went straight to the point and did it with in your face entertainment. I'm curious to read more and found more of L. Ron Hubbard's books for free on amazon. less
