“Far back in the island of Kaitu it was thought I had died. It is true that I went so close to the gates that my fingers were touching the latch, but my work here is not yet done. I have seen a vision of the future. I have seen the slumbering east aroused and started upon a current which can only end at the Atlantic, whether the course be east or west. Now is the time for which we have worked, for which we have prayed. We must act swiftly and surely. So give me your ears. This very night do we start!” ~Prince Wu Ling, The Case of the Poisoned Telephones, 1915
Brace yourself for a whirlwind of intrigue and danger as Prince Wu Ling, the enigmatic mastermind behind The Brotherhood of the Yellow Beetle, rises from the ashes of his supposed demise. With his vision for global domination burning brighter than ever, Wu Ling rallies his shadowy organization for their most audacious schemes yet. In The Case of the Poisoned Telephones, the Brotherhood attempts to steal the plans for a weapon that could single-handedly alter the course of the Great War. In The Quest of the Grey Panther, Wu Ling contemplates an alliance that could forever change the global balance of power.
But that’s not all Blake and Tinker have to contend with! Hammerton Palmer emerges from South American exile in The Prize Ship, with a daring get-rich-quick scheme, and the Council of Eleven target priceless rubies in the classic Easter Double Number The Vengeance of the Eleven.
Rounding out the tales is a thrilling new rivalry: the brilliant detective Nelson Lee faces off against his most formidable female foe—the cunning and deadly Black Wolf.
This is the eighth of several anthologies that collects George Hamilton Teed’s most popular works from 1913 to 1917. Each edition includes all of the original illustrations! Enjoy!
