Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The criminal mastermind and 'man of mystery' is back.Doctor Nikola, an occultist anti-hero seeking immortality and world domination. The adventures of Nikola launched with the first episode of A Bid for Fortune continue in the three books collected in this volume. Nikola is suave but menacing dressed in "faultless evening dress, slender, having dark peculiar eyes and dark hair, and white toad-coloured skin." He lives in a bungalow on the Rue de Lafayette in Shanghai, with his perennial companion, the black cat Apollyon (named after a dark angel) - huge, baleful, gleaming-eyed - perched on Nikola's shoulder. "The heart of the series is devoted to the Doctor's convoluted search for a Tibetan process that will resuscitate the dead and ensure immortality in the living, and there are some hints that - unhampered by compunctions, armed with psi powers and blessed with a powerful experimental intellect - he may have reached his goal." - John Clute
