Ten years after Holmes retires from his Baker Street location and turns to beekeeping in Sussex, he is called upon to rescue Nayland Smith from Fu Man Chu. It turns from a hostage rescue to a matter of survival of the British Empire. The battle pits Homes against Fu Man Chu.
Each a genius in their own right, with their own dedicated goals: Fu Man Chu to take over the British Empire, then the world, Holmes to stop the conquest. Both have respect for each other, but recognize their goals are at opposite ends.
Nayland’s part is to be a pawn for Fu Man Chu due to his knowledge and experience, but Nayland isn’t buying it.
The author has two well-known figures facing off each in their own style. Fu Man Chu with his evil minions and destructive weapons. Holmes with his deductive reasoning. Both men challenging each other.
Slow at times, but still pulling the reader on to the end. ( )
