Publisher's Synopsis
The "King of the Pulps"-H. Bedford-Jones-pens a story of modern China: a country in the throes of rebirth, where the superstition of magic of other days are sometimes opposed to the chattering machine-gun-where the rigid caste system of the oldest surviving civilization is fighting a losing fight against the newly-found ideal of Western democracy. A classic pulp adventure from early in H. Bedford-Jones' career.
