About the AuthorGregg Taylor's love of the classic adventure stories of the golden age of radio, comics and pulp fiction are the driving passions behind the "Tales of the Red Panda" series of books. His heroes can also be found in the adventure series "The Red Panda Adventures", heard on independent radio stations around North America and around the world as part of the Decoder Ring Theatre podcast, and in Red Panda comics, available digitally from Monkeybrain Comics through Comixology, and in print from IDW Publishing.

Taylor is one of the best young writers of our ageBy William MerlockIf you have actually gotten this far down the page and you haven't read any of Mr. Taylor's work, nor yet been persuaded to do so, I'm not sure what more could be said to rectify that extremely unfortunate situation. Taylor is one of the best young writers of our age, and despite having set the bar at extreme heights, he once again delivers a can't-put-it-down tale of what may be the premiere adventure series being written today. (Not just written, of course...the Terrific Twosome of Toronto can be found in audio drama format and graphic novel form as well...) If you're going to talk 1930's pulp action, then a visit to the pyramids of Egypt is almost mandatory. Taylor takes a not-unfamiliar trope and re-frames it to make it both the familiar setting of B-movies and pulp adventures of years past, and, at the same time, something brand new and as-yet-unseen. Of all the things that make the "Tales of the Red Panda" work, though, is the characterization the leads, and neither Kit nor August (the Flying Squirrel and Red Panda, for those who somehow might possibly not yet know this) have ever been better. There are a few faces familiar to old fans, but, if this is your first visit to the "Pandaverse", no worries; this is a fine place to start, and I have no doubts that, having read this story, you will be back for more.Depending on when you're reading this, it might be too late for a Christmas present... but, let's face it, you've been *extra* good this year and are completely deserving of a treat no matter what the season. So pick up this tale (and, while you're at it, the other three books in the series) and settle yourself down for some pretty terrific two-fisted action.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Smashing good adventure yarn set in 1930s EgyptBy Philip KalataTales of the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel have been entertaining me and my wife for years now. This latest journey to the pyramids of Egypt is just as fantastic as any other adventure featuring the Terrific Twosome of Toronto.The Red Panda is one of the very best mystery men heroes. He's an uncompromising paragon of justice. If anything, The Flying Squirrel is an even better hero than her boss. She sets him straight and makes sure he keeps perspective when the poor and downtrodden are made to suffer.Pyramid of Peril brings the heroes to Egypt to rescue Maxwell Falconi, who has come out of retirement as The Stranger to fight the forces of darkness once again. Sinister agents seek a terrible artifact from ancient Egyptian times and will kill to get it. This is one of the first adventures where the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel tangle with the occult forces that will plague them for years to come. The novel also has some amusingly Downton Abbey-ish hijinks going on in the background with the Red Panda's household staff, all under the paternal eye of Westin the butler.This novel is set in Season 2 of The Red Panda Adventures podcast (somewhere between episodes S2E5 "Merlin's Tomb" and S2E10 "The Black Hand"). It's at the height of the classic "Yes, Boss" era and has everything that makes Red Panda so great: action, mystery, romance, magic, and honest, earnest heroes fighting to do the right thing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Once again, I am addicted to the Red Panda ...By CustomerOnce again, I am addicted to the Red Panda. This one takes place in Egypt as well as Toronto. The Pyramid is in Egypt not Toronto. OK, spoiler alert.
