Summary: In search for that niche....
Review: Clung, the main character, is an orphaned white male raised by an adoptive Chinese father. "Ghost Rider" is the story of Clung's efforts to find his niche in the white man's world, as well as in the Oriental way of living. Max Brand, the author, not only develops excellent characterization of Clung and his adoptive father, but also of Winifred Sampson, the financier's daughter, whose goal was to help Clung find his niche. The human shortfalls of greed and manipulation are evidenced by the financier, John Sampson, and his enterprising cohort, William Kirk. The paperback is an entertaining read. It may not be one of the best novels you ever read, but definitely is not a waste of your time.
