"I’m absolutely in love with “Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong”... thank God for F. Paul Wilson. Another masterstroke," (Bookgasm) SEX SLAVES OF THE DRAGON TONG - a Yellow Peril triptych - contains the title story, plus "Part of the Game," and the all-new "Dragon Tongue" - a trio of interconnected tales set in 1938 in San Francisco's Chinatown. Pulp fiction at its very best. " 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong'... captures the real essence of the pulps." (Publisher's Weekly) " 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong' and 'Part of the Game'... Taken together, they form a larger and more satisfying work than many writers deliver in a whole novel... as well as a great example of Wilson's talent with character and setting." (SFRevu) " 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong' is a fully realized throwback to the heyday of the 'yellow-peril' tale. But what else can you expect from the creator of Repairman Jack, a Shadow-like figure himself, and the best example of the pulp mentality operating in the modern day? (Green Man Reviews) Yellow Peril… how can a phrase that reeks so of racism and paranoia yield a body of fiction so… cool? The term originated in the late nineteenth century. Chinese immigrants were flooding our western shore and spreading throughout the country at a time when their homeland was growing more and more militaristic. Could this mass immigration be a silent first wave of an eventual invasion? Chinese villains became regulars in the penny dreadfuls. In 1913 Sax Rohmer created the paradigm for all oriental evil from then on Fu-Manchu... (from the Foreword)
Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong a Yellow Peril Triptych F Paul Wilson Books
The year is 1938...San Francisco. The tongs are mighty but their reach and control has faded. But the arrival of the mysterious figure known as the MANDARIN has shifted the balance of that power into his hands. No one knows who he is... anyone who has seen him, crosses him, or even gets too close... disappear or die mysteriously in many and painful ways, giving him the name of Lord of the Strange Deaths. No one does anything in the city without the knowledge and approval of the Mandarin himself so when women begin disappearing, women who all share the same physical features, his attention is drawn. To complicate matters, a young girl is taken in what looks to be the same manner and method...a young girl is the daughter of a man as powerful and as enigmatic as the Mandarin himself. And now, the forces of the San Francisco police department and those of the cities powerful underground are in pursuit.F. Paul Wilson, who's extensive works include the wide ranging Secret History of the World, has crafted a story that seems to have been taken directly out of the pages of the best of those pulp stories of the late 30s with all their atmosphere and flavor. You will feel like you've entered into those old tales crafted by the likes of Sax Rohmer, Dashiell Hammet, and other of the master authors of those times. Wilson is a true master at what ever he turns his pen to. And, while you're reading, you will be indirectly introduced to many of the pop culture icons of that period from both pulps and newspapers. Those Easter egg type of revelations are fun and add so much to the flavor and fun of the stories.
NOTE OF WARNING: As this IS a story set in the late 30s, close to the begin of the second world war, Wilson has written in the vernacular and reflected casual prejudices of the time. He pulls no punches and doesn't reflect the "political correctness" of our times and presents a story that could have been lifted directly from the society of that period.

Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong a Yellow Peril Triptych F Paul Wilson Books Reviews
I love F. Paul Wilson. This is a predictable trilogy. Written in the old style, when we still called people "chinks" & "coolies." A little excessive, but true to form. I just wish it was longer, with more stories.
Want a nice short adventure with detectives, stereotypical Chinamen, a Fu Manchu, Dragon Lady, Doc Savage type archype? This is a fun book!
I thought I'd check this one out because I've been a F Paul Wilson fan for a long time. First thing I wondered about was the title . . . hmm. Was better than I expected, but not of the caliber of Repairman Jack novels. Still, the three inter related stories were entertaining as a Triptych. Price was right since I downloaded it to my . For $3 how can you go wrong for F Paul Wilson stories.
When I was radically younger, I discovered Sax Rohmer's tales of Dr. Fu Manchu. It is interesting to see Honor disconnected from the concepts of Good and Evil. Wilson has captured this essence and as well the essence of the times.
If you are going to read this story, please read the Forward first.This is a Yellow Peril story and Wilson wrote it using the slang words that an author from the 1930s would use. He explains the reason for this in the Forward.
Please note that if you are easily offended by casual racism, this is NOT the book for you. But if you loved the camp of the Sax Rohmer Fu Manchu novels, this book is for you.
Consisting of 3 novellas about sinister Asians (and featuring Little Orphan Annie and Daddy Warbucks!), it is a great fast paced read.
For fans of vintage adventure (sunday 'funnies', movie adventure serials and pulp heroes), this book is a solid-gold godsend. In it, F. Paul Wilson...the author of 'Repairman Jack'...creates a 1930's style pulp adventure that somehow manages to happily mash together Dr. Fu-Manchu, Daddy Warbucks and Dashiell Hammet's 'Continenal Op' detective (and, throws in references to quite a few other pulp legends along the way). Its true to itself, its characters and era...and is the epitome of a ripping yarn.
Fair warning the author has written the story in the lingo/patois/slang/vernacular/etc. of the period. So, there's lots of politically incorrect language fired along with plenty of bullets. Like I said...an authentic 'pulp' adventure.
