Author: Sax Rohmer
Anglo-Irish pulp writer Sax Rohmer (Arthur Henry Ward, 1883-1959) wrote non-sf detective thrillers — concerning the adventures of, e.g., Gaston Max, Morris Klaw, and The Crime Magnet — but his depiction of the sinister Fu Manchu, ancestor of such racist sf villains as Ming the Merciless, Dr. No, and the Mandarin, made him one of the most successful authors of science fiction’s Radium Age.
