It was an ageless thing that had existed since the beginning of time -- a monstrous green face that spoke sudden death. With its legions of ghostly, nebulous soul slaves, it had begun to terrorize the world. Even Doc Savage and his fantastic five were helpless against its awesome power, until....
Editor's Note: Pulp writer Richard Sale started ghosting this novel, but removed himself from the project after recieving criticism from Lester Dent.

Ah! Doc in Asia! Always makes for a good story! I now look at this tale as the precursor to Murray's excellent 'The Jade Ogre'.

Doc in Asia is always a treat! This is one of my favourite Docs and it is a fan fav as well. That doesn't happen to often with my tastes. The monstrous green face appearing when you least expected is wonderfully creepy. A great Doc all around.

This book is terrific, even if the explanation of the Mullah's apparition is a bit hokey (though the flying snakes actually works for me). This also has one of Bama's best covers. Dent must have been flying when he wrote this; it's truly inspired. Highly recommended.

This is a pretty good Doc Savage novel. There are better. It has a good story and a good villain. The explanation does not quite fit the cover, but it still works well. Overall, a good one to read.

After the debacle with ghostwriter Richard Sale, you can tell Dent took the time to get "The Mystic Mullah" right. It's wonderfully written and packed full of rich detail and just plain fun stuff: transparent green snakes, a Soviet agent, Doc's skin-bleaching trick and lots of palace intrigue. And best of all, it's topped off with what is arguably Bama's coolest cover — Doc in an oriental robe tossing grenades at a floating green mandarin. It made my eyes bug out when I saw it on the paperback shelf in 1972 and I still love it today!

One of the best. This would be a great book for introducing someone to Doc adventures. It has nearly everything you could want in a Doc story, and it is well written from beginning to end.

My first Bantam Doc novel and one of my favorites. A quick and fun read, the action is so fast and furious that this one seems to fly by. However, the ending with the explanation of the Mystic Mullah's ghostly head does seem sort of forced. But overall a great tale.
