But when Ming falls in love with Ada, the daughter of a powerful railroad magnate, and the two elope, he seizes the opportunity to escape to a different life.

Together the two set out to rescue his wife and to exact revenge on the men who destroyed Ming, aided by a troupe of magic-show performers, some with supernatural powers, whom they meet on the journey. Ming blazes his way across the West, settling old scores with a single-minded devotion that culminates in an explosive and unexpected finale.</p><p>Written with the violent ardor of Cormac McCarthy and the otherworldly inventiveness of Ted Chiang, <em>The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu</em> is at once a thriller, a romance, and a story of one mans quest for redemption in the face of a distinctly American brutality.</p><p><strong>"In Tom Lins novel, the atmosphere of Cormac McCarthys West, or that of the Coen Brothers <em>True Grit</em>, gives way to the phantasmagorical shades of Ray Bradbury, Charles Finneys <em>The Circus of Dr. Lao</em>, and Katherine Dunns <em>Geek Love</em>.
