Product Description
Product Description
Sax Rohmer, master writer of stories of mystery and horror, adds to his already notable group of scoundrels and heroes, which includes the unforgettable Dr. Fu Manchu, a striking and colorful new character- Bimbashi Baruk, of the renowned Camel Corps in Africa. Born of an Arab sheik and an English mother, this tall, slender, swarthy, taciturn man was singled out by the British Military Intelligence for his uncanny power of scenting crime and bringing the criminal into the open. The scene of the book is England and the Near East, particularly Syria, Persia, Egypt, and Afghanistan, with their crowded, labyrinthine and treacherous thoroughfares, which Sax Rohmer knows so well.

Unique Sax Rohmer Tales, July 16 2010
By Mark Newbold - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bimbashi Baruk of Egypt (Paperback)
As a fan of Rohmer's writings, this was a pleasant discovery. Though we often associate Rohmer's works with the era of the 1920-30's, these are well written little gems from the WW2 era. Pitting perhaps Rohmer's most interesting hero since Nayland Smith in the person of secret agent Bimbashi Baruk, of Anglo-Arab parentage who possesses some psychic abilities to aid his endeavors. His efforts on behalf of the allied forces take him from England, Egypt to Afghanistan and all areas in between in combating & thwarting nefarious Axis plans.
My only complaint is the cover art & the misspelling of Egypt. Black Mask publishers need better artists and editors! Unique & enjoyable stories from the master of villainy. Recommended for all Rohmer devotees.
Listmania!
