Saint Saga Nº 04
By Paul Magnussen
Although the Saint books are definitely best if read in the right order, most of them — especially the later ones — can be read in isolation without great loss. The present book, the direct sequel to The Last Hero, is the exception.Once again arms-dealer Rayt Marius is plotting to start a war to increase demand for his products, and once again Simon and his friends frustrate his major plan. But of course, Marius has a second string to his bow, and the climax of "Knight Templar" (aka "the Avenging Saint") is the most electrifying in any Saint book (and, incidentally, provides the mechanism whereby Simon is able to continue on through thirty-three more rather than spending the next forty years in gaol).Crown Prince Rudolf, my very favourite villain, who only comes on stage towards the end of the previous opus, appears early here in the tale of the Desecrated Royal Toothpaste.BTW, the titles of ten of the Saint books were later — confusingly — changed, as follows:01: Meet the Tiger -> The Saint Meets the Tiger03: The Last Hero -> The Saint Closes the Case04: Knight Templar -> The Avenging Saint07: She Was A Lady -> The Saint Meets His Match08: The Holy Terror -> The Saint vs. Scotland Yard10: Once More the Saint -> The Saint and Mr. Teal12: The Misfortunes of Mr. Teal -> The Saint in London13: Boodle -> The Saint Intervenes18: Thieves Picnic -> The Saint Bids Diamonds19: Prelude for War -> The Saint Plays With FireThe fatuity of the revised titles is nowhere more evident than with the present book and its antecedent: in The Last Hero the Saint does not close the case, and in Knight Templar the one thing he does not do is avenge the death of Norman Kent.P.S. For a list of all Charteris's Saint books (in two sections, because of length limitations) see my Listmanias.

Novel or Novella? It's Simple, Simon!
By Barty Literati
A REVIEW OF `THE AVENGING SAINT' BY LESLIE CHARTERISWhen an action-adventure novel ends with its hero hanging from a rope attached to a Gipsy Moth plane, hovering above a moving train which, if not stopped (literally) in its tracks, will detonate two bombs that will trigger a second world war, the discerning (!) reader knows that he is onto a winner. Indeed, as climaxes go, this is hard to top, serving as a majestic example of fast-paced, high-energy set-pieces that pepper inter-war thrillers.However, it is regrettable, that the magnificent finale of `The Avenging Saint' does not quite mask the fact that much of the book lacks such verve and audacious spectacle. First published in 1930 under the title `Knight Templar', `The Avenging Saint' is a true sequel to the previous Simon Templar novel, `The Saint Closes The Case'. Indeed, the action takes place only months later, with our haloed (anti) hero out to avenge the death of his ally, Norman Kent, by hotly pursuing the criminal mastermind and thug, Rayt Marius. As before, Marius is bent of manipulating key European figures to spark another global conflict that will be of principal benefit to arms manufacturers. It is The Saint's job to thwart any such plans.The premise is strong and Templar's personal motivations are convincing. However, having read both `The Saint Closes The Case' and `The Avenging Saint', it would seem that there is one 10/10 novel found within two volumes. Charteris himself seemed to favour the novella format for The Saint, with many of his titles being made up of three stories of 80-ish pages. This length might well have benefited `The Avenging Saint', which at times offers up excessively-elaborate description over action and adventure. There is no doubting that Leslie Charteris was a very talented writer. His use of language is far sharper and more incisive that contemporaries such as Bulldog Drummond's creator, Sapper. Charteris imbues his story-telling with an almost clinical sharpness, using words like dangerous weapons. It is definitely stylish, but it can border on the ponderous when we keep being told about The Saint's physical appearance and everyone else's awe of him. Yes, I like that fact that Templar is as cool as a cucumber and as deadly as a razor blade, but in `The Avenging Saint' he needs to more regularly DO something to prove the point. This over-elaboration by the author would diminish over time, resulting in some consistently brilliant novels such as `Saint Overboard' (1936).It is not my intention to be overly-critical here. Indeed, aside from its fabulous conclusion, there are other memorable scenes in `The Avenging Saint', including an original use of tooth paste and a brilliant segment involving The Saint's hijacking of his enemy's boat. Nevertheless, compared to the very best novels in the series, its limitations are obvious. It is interesting to note that the very next Saint book (`Featuring The Saint') is comprised of three novellas. I look forward to seeing Charteris in his more favoured milieu. If they comprise the best elements of `The Avenging Saint' with a sustained high-energy, it will not be difficult to see why Simon Templar was the most enduring and prolific of the all of the factional leading men of his type filling up the bookshelves in the golden age of thriller writing.Barty's score: 7.5 /10
