      Who is Dr. Shadows?

      Anton Chadeaux was the son of an oil speculator who traveled the globe to many far-flung wildcat projects. He was something of a wastrel as a youth, a playboy who even dabbled in stage magic in his school days, which is where he used the stage name ‘Dr. Shadows.’

      When he accompanied his parents on a plane trip to Northern Korea on the Chinese border, the plane was shot down by Chinese bandits in the employ of the Japanese.

      After the crash the bandits murdered Chadeaux’s parents and left the paralyzed boy for dead. He was found by monks from a hidden Wei Monetary where the monks immersed him in herbal baths for years that bleached his skin to a pale grey and nurse him back to health. They first teach him to focus his mind with the ancient art of Sulsa Do which allows him to re-claim his physical self from the shattered wretch he had been after the crash.

      For three years he lie, completely paralyzed and near death, learning ancient secrets of focusing his mind. Then, as his flesh recovered he learned the monk’s existence of meditation, fasting, and rigid discipline. He was reforged to be a master of the ancient art, giving him abilities beyond the common. With the guidance of the Abbot, and the treasure of the monastery at his command, he left those remote Korean mountains a new, better, and stronger man a man with a purpose: to help the helpless and be the last hope of the hopeless.

      He gathered around him a small group of likeminded friends into the Shadows Foundation for Justice.

      Thus was born, the granite man, the grey wolf of justice that the world came to know as Dr. Shadows!

      The world trembles on the brink: In China, the Japanese have invaded and annexed Manchuria, In Europe, Germany plays cat and mouse with a frightened and impotent League of Nations, and across the sea America does its best to ignore the gathering storm clouds. The year is 1938…

      Prologue: A Thief in the Night

      Kowloon is the peninsula of mainland China that juts out into Victoria Harbor facing south towards Hong Kong Island. The word Kowloon comes from the Cantonese words gau lung meaning nine dragons which referred to the eight hills of Kowloon with the ninth being the Emperor.

      High on one of the hills, where there was a good view of Victoria Harbour and the Island of Hong Kong beyond, stood the house of Professor Lee Lui Chan, curator of antiquities for the Royal Museum of Hong Kong.

      Many evenings the professor would sit on his broad veranda as the evening breeze and the sounds of the harbor drifted up to him, catching up on correspondence, sipping tea, and reflecting on life.

      He was not the image of a traditional scholar with the long Confucian beard; instead he was a barrel-chested Chinese with a thin dark mustache and long hair swept back
