The Golden Scorpion

His name was Fo-Hi, and he was the Oriental mastermind behind the greatest criminal organization the world has ever known. His plan: nothing less than world domination--and he will use any tool, from poisons to knives to beautiful women, to meet his sinister goals.

In The Golden Scorpion, Sax Rohmer has created a new Oriental super-villain to match his legendary Fu Manchu. Fans of the Fu Manchu books will find many favorite elements here, with action ranging from Cairo to London to China, from sinister opium dens to fog-shrouded streets to secret underground passages . . . and even more secret societies. And, of course, the brilliant and dedicated Scotland Yard detective who may be mankind's best hope!

"Paul Harley" series, book 1 and 2:

Bat-Wing

Rohmer's occult detective Paul Harley first case, involving voodoo, vampirism, and macabre murder!

Fire-Tongue

A new force stalks the fog-shrouded streets of London, bringing death to its victims ... the mysterious Fire-Tongue! Psychic detective Paul Harley investigates, in this mystery classic with supernatural elements.

As always, enjoy!

Harry:

I'm in the process of reading "The Golden Scorpion" and encountered a problem. I'll use the Kindle 2 to illustrate the "locations" so you can check it out.

It has to do with a repeat of part of Chapter IX: The Chinese Coin, that is also in the previous chapter. That Chapte IX begins, "Deep in reflection, Stuart walked alone along the embankment."

However, it seems that most of that chapter's pages begin prior to Chapter IX. Go to location 4842-48. At this earlier location [which is actually Chapter VIII], all of Chapter IX starts about midway in that chapter VIII.

I apologize if my explanation sounds needlessly complicated.

I've stopped reading it, temporarily anyway....Arggggh!!!

Thanks, Harry.

That's odd - it's fine on the desktop Mobi reader. When I get a chance, I'll look at the HTML source and see if there's anything funny about it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

HarryT · 12-29-2009, 10:09 AM

I must correct myself - it's not fine. As you say, chapter IX is tagged onto the end of chapter VIII, and then repeated as a separate chapter.

I'll correct this, but in the mean time, just ignore the "duplicate" chapter IX.

HarryT · 12-29-2009, 10:16 AM

I've checked and the error lies with the PG original.

Dr. Drib · 12-29-2009, 10:22 AM

Ok. I'll pass over chapter IX and start on X.

[edited out.]

Thanks.

No, you want to read all of VIII and then skip over IX
