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.

The Screaming Man is a kind of cool wartime espionage/spy thriller. It isn't much of a Doc, as this is the Jimmy Bond-is-bumbling, who-is-Carter?, anxious anti-Doc of those later years where they tried to fix what wasn't broken with the character. it is also one of those kind of transposed stories where it is Annie Flinders' tale and Doc is along for the ride as a pursued catalyst.
My favorite line in the entire book is: "Doc Savage tasted a number of emotions, all of them savoring of damn fool." Kind of like the reader.
Well I shouldn't be too harsh. It is readable, with a credible Japanese-esque war time threat, and the Johnny portion of the adventure is rather hair-raising. It's just a "different" sort of Doc adventure.
