Short description

A city beset by the darkness and desperation of the Depression balances upon a knife edge, ready to plunge into chaos and despair. An unseen manipulator is pulling the city's surviving businesses to the brink of collapse for his own fiendish purposes just as an old foe returns to unleash his bitter fury upon innocent lives. Who will survive the power of... The Android Assassins?

Extended description

The third volume of this loving tribute to the classic "Hero Pulps" of the 1930s and 40s, Tales of the Red Panda: The Android Assassins is a roller-coaster of non-stop action as our heroes set out to thwart two hidden menaces, one set to take over their city, the other to tear it down brick by brick!

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 Android Assassins!

Review by: Michael Dean on May 01, 2012 :
If you are a fan of Decoder Ring Theatre's "Red Panda Adventures" audio drama, this is a wonderful expansion of that fantastic world. If you've never heard of the Red Panda, this is a fun, pulp-inspired tale os super heroics the likes of which are rarely seen these days.

Inspired by the likes of the Shadow, the Spider, the Green Hornet and other Golden Age Mystery Men, the Red Panda and his sidekick the Flying Squirrel have to defend 1930s Toronto against Captain Clockwork's evil machines.

Part super hero story, part mystery, all fun. An excellent throwback to the days of the pulps, when anything you could imagine was possible (static shoes, electric knuckles, retractable gliding membranes) and fun, exciting stories were the priority. Highly recommended.

Review by: John Hill on April 25, 2012 : (no rating)
Gregg Taylor has created a wonderful universe that seamlessly combines old-fashioned science-fiction gadgetry with magic, and filled that universe with truly memorable characters.

If you like old fashioned pulp / noir stories, you will love this book.

If you are a fan of the podcast, you will hear the voices of familiar characters as you read. It is a thrill ride.
