Doc smuggles himself into Moscow on his most daring mission yet! The Man of Bronze tangles with a deadly military secret, some sinister Soviets, and -- most dangerous of all -- a heroine of the Russian underground who is as treacherous as she is beautiful.

one of my least favorite books. Doc seems a little gunshy and not in control of himself or the situation. But the cover's awesome

I do feel that this story did NOT live up to the hype. But, it was great fun to read of Doc Savage being part of the techno expansion (explosion?) that began after the innovations-under-duress of WW II. Also, it was an interesting piece of the character study of Doc being "de-Supermanned". Only natural as Clark was now in at least his late 40's and had been under extreme stress and danger for nearly two decades.

I was glad to see this book and feel thanks should be passed along to Will Murray for digging it up. But it isn't Doc. It has little action and Doc seems ill-fitted to the Cold War world of Soviet Russia of 1949. The novel itself is hardly long enough to be called a novel, but what's here is coherent enough to read. But I'd say this should be read only by die-hard Doc fans who want to see a Dent story that got rejected by the editor and ended up in a file cabinet only to be discovered thirty years later. Of historical interest only.
