Dr Nikola Returns - [PDF] [ePub] [Kindle]
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. David Swan Top Contributor: That story was told from the perspective of the protagonist, Richard Hatteras, while Dr. Nikola was the villain working behind the scenes. It's very interesting that Guy Boothby took the mysterious nemesis from the first book and put the reader in his corner for the second. We discover his motivation behind his quest for the magical stick and he actually comes off as not a bad fellow.
The problem with the story is the pondering pace. Everything moves soooo slowly. Bruce and Nikola travel around China in search of the secret of immortality but very little happens. Wilfred finds a love interest, which really adds nothing to the story and is just obligatory given the era in which this book came out.
The partnership of the two men is interesting and Dr. Nikola remains a fascinating character but I struggle to think of more than a few things of note that happened in the book.

This is the second book in the Dr. Overall I prefer a series like Arsene Lupin or Fantomas. The main strength of this series is Dr. Nikola himself and given that there are only five books total I plan to finish and hope the other three books pick up the pace. One person found this helpful. The antiheroic Nikola, it appears, is after some sort of amazing longevity discovery, known by a certain group of monks, who, of course, live in a mountain fastness. An adventurer named Bruce falls in with him, and much impersonation of Asians and arduous travel through Asia ensues.
On reaching the monastery, their ruse is finally discovered, and it appears they are for the long leap. Some fast thinking and clever work by Nikola, and a few secret ingredients gets them out, amazingly enough, with a book of information he was after. A little Nikola cunning leads to their escape, but the pursuit is hot, and a close thing, but at the end, Chinese assassins are still on their trail.
