DOC SAVAGE: THE MIRACLE MENACE
Altus Press is proud to announce its latest Wild Adventure of Doc Savage release.
Once again Will Murray, working from unpublished manuscript material found among the papers of Doc Savage originator Lester Dent, has produced a mind-blowing addition to the saga of the Man of Bronze.
When out of work magician Gulliver Greene stumbles upon a man who claims to be Christopher Columbus, still alive in 1937, it’s only the start of the most complex plot ever to involve the incredible Doc Savage.
Called to the sleepy farm town of La Plata, Missouri, the Man of Bronze plunges into the enigma of the vanishing Victorian house. Is it haunted? Is it even real? Can Doc solve the mystery––or will he be sucked into the unknown vortex into which it disappears?
“Doc Savage has a well-deserved reputation as pulp adventure series,” says Murray, “but true fans know that Doc tackled more than his share of Science Fiction challenges. Lost Cities. Invisibility. Death Rays. Teleportation. With The Miracle Menace, we enter unexplored territory. Unexplored for Doc, that is. At the end of this adventure, Doc will come into possession of a powerful new vehicle for exploration. What will he do with it? More importantly, dare Doc use it again?”
Doc Savage: The Miracle Menace is available in trade paperback, hardcover and ebook editions.
Doc Savage: The Miracle Menace Skull Island is the sixth entry in Altus Press’ popular Wild Adventures of Doc Savage series. With a stunning cover by Joe DeVito depicting Doc Savage, Monk and Ham ready to go into action.
