Book Reviews of Brood of the Witch-Queen
Book Review: Sax Rohmer high melodrama
Summary: 3 Stars
Another galloping art deco era blood curdling thriller a la Sax Rohmer. Rohmer is usually a fun read, there are a few clunkers (see my review for the "Green Eyes of Bast"), but the Fu Manchu and the other "yellow peril" novels are delightful period pieces of adventure for those not so politically correct to let it stand in the way of a good story. Often the men are British moral prigs (no other word captures this quality-sorry). Fighting like any stout & bold Englishman, the dark ancient Egyptian demonic forces unleashed by a depraved antiquarian in this work.
Rohmer is a master of creating atmosphere & environment in his books. A contemporary of Rohmer's who fits the same bill is Algernon Blackwood. I assure you that Rohmer is as good as most "Mystery" series offerings on PBS. If the above appeals to you on some level- then "Brood of the Witch Queen" is your cup of tea.
