Zorro and the Witch's Curse

By John Whitman

The Mark of Zorro! They call him El Zorro, the Fox. Tyrants and villains call him an outlaw. But to the people of old California he is a hero defending the innocent with a sword in his hand and a smile upon his lips. None suspect that behind the mask of Zorro hids Don Diego de la Vega, the only son of a wealthy landowner. Riding through the night, Zorro leaves behind his own legendary signature: the Mark of the Z! The Witch's Curse Twenty years ago, during a fearsome hurricane, an innocent woman was left to die on the remote island of San Nicholas. As the ship pulled away, leaving her to face the fury of the storm, she screamed a curse on those who had abandoned her, vowing to have her revenge upon them even if she had to return from death itself. Don Diego had always thought the witch of San Nicholas nothing more than a colorful legend--until a mysterious white-haired crone began terrorizing the pueblo of Los Angeles. The frightening apparition appears without warning and stikes without mercy, making her victims vanish as if by magic. Has the witch of San Nicholas truly returned from her watery grave? Only Zorro can uncover the truth--before the witch's curse claims Zorro's own father!

Enjoyable Zorro Read!

This is three in a series, so far, by Tor/Forge paperbacks, with approval from Zorro Productions.Zorro is presented in a delightful description and the characters are fun! Couldn't put it down. I hope Tor/Forge books will come out with a new Zorro paperback (mass production) for this year, 2001!Z forever!

Best in Modern Zorro Series Thus Far

This is the best zorro book in the series thus far; however I also should note that this is the first by Whitman. Unlike the previous books that feature samuari warriors and cult-like villians that are magicians (which stray FAR from the original Zorro story-line) this book is much more believable.This is the third "new" adventure, and continues to have replaced Zorro's original love interest Lolita, with the much the more intriguing Arcadia.Whitman portrays Zorro much like McCulley - this book is an enjoyable read.
