More Grand Doc Savage Adventure, Mar 15 2006
By Kara J. Jorges "Avid Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 06 Brand of the Werewolf and the Man Who Shook the Earth (Print on Demand (Paperback))
In Brand of the Werewolf, Doc Savage and his five sidekicks are on a train to visit his uncle in Canada when he receives a strange telegram telling him to go home. Doc becomes suspicious of three passengers who seem to be watching him, and when two of them and his men are nearly killed, the only clue is the mark of a werewolf. Things get even stranger when Doc and his pals arrive at his uncle's cabin, and they find a fairly new grave and signs of a kidnapping. His uncle has been murdered and his cousin Patricia taken captive, all because of a small ivory cube which is the key to a vast treasure. It takes all of Doc's considerable skills to put it all together and solve the mystery.
In The Man Who Shook the Earth, two men show up at Doc's 86th floor pad, but Doc is out, operating on Johnny's damaged eye. Monk is there to meet them and is suspicious, and when Doc and the gang investigate, they find they are too late to stop a kidnapping and a murder. At the same time, newsboys are hawking papers full of stories about earthquakes in South America, which nobody pays any mind until the thugs who visited Doc's office are traced to Chile. Near the city of Antofagasta, several bizarre earthquakes have occurred, mysteriously killing off the owners of nitrate-producing companies. It takes the specialized skills of everyone on Doc's team to unravel the why, the how, and finally the who behind the murderous earthquakes.
Once again, these two books deliver everything we've come to expect from Doc Savage, though the last few stories seemed to be more about solving mysteries than high-octane adventure. It's nice to see a series that doesn't deliver the same story every time out, even if a lot of the elements remain the same. Plenty of shoot-outs, fistfights, and superhuman feats abound, with a backdrop of Doc's cool and unique inventions to liven things up. For a quick, fun, vintage adventure read, Doc Savage is your man.

Two of the Best Doc Savage Novels - Lester Dent at his Peak, Jan 20 2006
By Paul Cook - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 06 Brand of the Werewolf and the Man Who Shook the Earth (Print on Demand (Paperback))
These are two of the best Doc Savage novels ever written. I would say, in fact, that The Brand of the Werewolf is my favorite. These both would be two excellent introductions to the greatest action hero of all time.
