This is one that could have been a lot better. The idea behind it is pretty spectacular, but the execution of the novel ends up pretty mundane. It does have the distinction of being one of the few stories in the series where Doc himself is succesfully kidnapped. This one would probably have served better as one of the longer novels, as the resolution seems entirely too rushed and the characters and background elements of the plot are not fully fleshed out.

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.
