Sinister forces are at work, striking within the very heart of the city's elite with powers that seem otherwordly. Are the attacks random? 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? The second volume of the Tales of the Red Panda series is written in the breathless style of the classic "Hero Pulps" of the 1930s and 40s.

This story is a self-contained adventure; you needn't have heard a single episode of Decoder Ring Theatre's long-running audio drama series to enjoy the thrills, mystery and adventure but fans of the series will take special
Editorial : About the Author

- "Ponies" by Kij Johnson tied for the Short Story Nebula. Then she joined the Weight Watchers class run by Ertha, who ran the class like a Zen master and provided "thinspirations" that seemed to work. I imagine that anyone who has not had the benefit of a little background of Derek Toozlethwaite will be left confused, and even reluctant to continue after a few dozen pages as there is so much history behind the tangled relationships referred to.
