Synopsis for "Bleeding Black"Edit

Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu, has been poisoned. His only hope is to find the elixir vitae, the serum of eternal life created by his father.

Shang Chi's quest takes him to all of his father's hidden facilities, where he will face the deadly traps designed to keep out thieves. He is accompanied by his allies from British Secret Service: Sir Denis Nayland Smith, Clive Reston, Blackjack Tarr and his beloved Leiko Wu. On the verge of death, he must nonetheless find the strength to defeat the assassin Shadow Hand, though every minute he is delayed brings him closer to the end.
