About
Flearun is the latest incarnation of the Hidalgo Trading Company, a website created in 1996 by Chuck Welch. The original goal of the HTC was to bring together the opinions of fans who didn't want to create their own site. As everyone began to build websites HTC morphed into: docsavage.info to showcase an idiosyncratic look at Doc and docsavage.org, the net's first attempt at a Doc Savage encyclopedia.
Flearun will merge those two approaches and include Catherine Lavallée-Welch's L'Homme de Bronze, a look at the French version of Doc.
The Flearun Discussion Group is in it's seventh year as the net's premier Doc Savage mail list.

One of the best Bantam covers! Even it is from Red Snow. I have a certain fondness for this one as it is the only one I own in Bantam and the original pulp (which, by the way, has a pretty good cover as well). But the proof is in the pudding or, in this case, between the covers. The mystery for this one is good but over the top so if you like your Docs that way (and I do!) this one's for you. Ham gets a moment to shine, and action abounds. A lean, mean, exciting Doc. It isn't one you'll remember on your deathbed but it's fun!

I really liked this one. The main villian and the strange series of murders provide a genuinely CrEePy feel to the story. It is a quick read, with more mystery than action, but it is a good one. Starts out a bit slow, with all kinds of words from Circus lingo being introduced, then defined... maybe it was necessary, but it was like a tedious fifth grade vocabulary lesson... but once that was over, it really kept my attention.
