Book Description

「鑽石花」這篇故事，是「衞斯理」為主角故事中的第一篇，寫作時，還完全未涉及「科學幻想」這個題材。在第一次出版的時候，曾再三考慮要不要列入，結困還是列入了。因為這是衞斯理這個人物的「首本戲」，對這個人物來龍去脈，有相當詳細的交待。不久之前，一位讀友就問：「衞斯理的中國武術，主要是哪裏學來的？」就有點自己也記不清楚，還是他有肯定的答案：是杭州瘋丐金二的徒弟。

這種「典故」，就是全出在「鑽石花」這個故事中。

本來，一直很喜歡在「連作小說」的形式中，利用出現過的各類人物，雖然故事不同，但熟悉的人物，經常出現，可收事半功倍之效。「鑽石花」中的人物，除衞斯理之外 Continue

very interesting story which , in 1950s, I started to read its later half when it was in Mingpao and I was in Kindergarten. It is only half a century later, when I finish reading it from start to end.
The story was very crude in every aspect, all the characters nearly do never appear again.
It was written as a request from the demand for modern day martial art story and a chinese version of the James Bond, romantic , adventure, firearm, western gangsters, secret treasure, and visiting various big cities of the rest of the world. After so many years, the world has changed so much and such tings are no longer in big demand.
A special feature is that Waiseelei loved Lai Ming Mui almost at once and Shek Kuk loved Wai almost at once for utterly no reason at all....a typical copycat of James Bond and Bond girls......but in this story, not even the glamous of Wai has been offered as a reason.
Adventure and modern martial art story was probably the original intention. Ngai Hong probably could not imagine that later it will turn into a SF legend.
At least in the first two books he remain so.
It is not a successful novel by all means. But a good start in retrospect

不是我第一部衞斯理卻是整個衞斯理的第一本。既不科幻，亦沒有白素，差點以為是「港版 007」。不過我的中學閱讀，正式由金庸 downgrade 到衞斯理，從而造就了自己兩小時完成一本衞斯理的紀錄。
