His works include thrillers, horror, mystery and detective novels, but his greatest creation is undoubtedly the evil genius, Dr. Fu-Manchu. All of Sax Rohmer's works contain three core elements that account for their continuing ability to fascinate: "the notion of conspiracy which is based upon a corporate, international secret society, ... the notion of a parallel supernatural plane of existence and the notion of eternal recurrence [reincarnation]."

"Out of fire I came-the smoldering fire of a thing one day
to be a consuming flame; in fire I go. Seek not my ashes.
I am the lord of the fires! Farewell." Fu-Manchu
