Short description

Sinister forces are at work, striking within the very heart of the city's elite with powers that seem otherwordly. are the attacks radom? Simply for profit? Or is an unknown predator hunting our masked heroes themselves? If the mysterious Ajay Shah really does have powers that rival the Red Panda, will even the Terrific Twosome of Toronto be able to resist the might of... The Mind Master?

Extended description

Written in the breathless style of the classic "Hero Pulps" of the 1930s and 40s, Tales of the Red Panda: The Mind Master peels back the curtain on our masked hero's history, as a mysterious force from his past returns, bent upon revenge and conquest!

Like the classic adventure tales of the Pulp fiction era that inspired them, the Tales of the Red Panda novels are stand-alone stories within the larger continuity of the the series and Decoder Ring Theatre's long-running audio drama series "The Red Panda Adventures". New readers will catch on at once, and fans of the series will take special delight. If you love classic adventure stories, mystery men, pulp fiction and golden age superheroics, you won't want to miss Tales of the Red Panda: The Mind Master!

Review by: Bram Kaandorp on March 29, 2013 :
This is precisely why I love the Pandaverse. I have read/watched several origin stories which would bite the hero in the behind at some point in the story, but rarely is it done well enough for me to care about the hero. Often-time they're just characters on a chessboard.

Gregg makes me care.

The story was true to the radio drama in which it is set, even though it still retains its accessibility as a stand-alone novel.

I love your writing style and the characters and situations that you write about.

I never miss an episode of the podcast either. Thanks for all the hard work.

Review by: Michael Dean on May 30, 2012 :
Another fantastic outing for Canada's Greatest Super-Hero! A somewhat darker tale as Gregg Taylor sets the Red Panda against a foe whose mind powers possibly surpass those of our hero.

Consider Taylor's reputed dislike of origin stories, this book contains a surprising amount of background information on the Red Panda. Taylor weaves the flashbacks throughout, revealing just the right amount of info as the story moves along. A very good "not-quite-origin" story.

Again, if you're a fan of the audio drama, you'll enjoy the expansion of the universe. If you've never heard of Decoder Ring Theatre, this is still a great, pulpy super-hero story.
