- Summary
-
'From high above my head came a rhythmic whirring; not that of a flight of birds nor that of an airplane propeller: rather the amplified hum of a mosquito. I stood still and stared upwards.'Descending with a hawklike motion was a gigantic bat!'It had a sort of vague luminosity. The incredibly long body was of a gleaming purplish-gray color. The wing span was no less than four yards, the legless body was close upon six feet!' Such was the start of an adventure in suspense, super-science, and sheer deviltry such as only Sax Rohmer could pen. The story of the plot to destroy all life on Earth is a page-by-page thriller you won't be able to put down.
