"Another installment of the antihero Doctor Syn. Pirate, priest, smuggler, raging psychotic. The fascinating thing about this is how the author utterly fails to tread the line of antihero, instead reeling from side to side between noble superman and sadistic maniac.....In this the third book (but second chronologically), Dr Syn adopts a third guise, that of the terrifying Scarecrow, to protect the smugglers of Kent from the forces of His Majesty's Customs and Excise. Superb cover art by E A Cox. Photographs/scans available upon request.
