From 1933..
I think this one is really under-rated. Lots of action, a really
capable bad-guy with a plausible, torn-from-the-headlines scheme,
exotic locale. It finishes up the POLAR TREASURE action. Good to
read the two of them back-to-back, but it doesn't hurt to read them
separate.
Why is it not on more top 10, 25 lists? I'm thinking that it is just
too politically incorrect for modern readers -- too much kicking of
slant-eyed, half-breed butt.
