Originally published from 1933-49 and reprinted by Bantam Books, Doc Savage is back in a new series of adventures. Based on an unpublished manuscript by his creator and the sequel to The Red Spider, this gripping tale pits a ruthless, unstoppable assassin against Doc Savage, plunging him into a Flight into Fear. An ultra secret State Department mission -- code-named Moonwinx -- propels Doc Savage from the terror-laden streets of Manhattan to the icy black waters of the Arctic Sea... and into the frozen heart of cold war Russia. Marked for death by the Kremlin and bound for a confrontation with a nemesis more vile and vicious than any he has faced before, the Man of Bronze battles an executioner known only as the Red Widow, a master of disguise and mistress of pain -- and a soul-devouring human spider ready to strike and destroy without warning...

Flight into Fear was the working title for the Doc Savage novel published as: King Joe Cay

There was a good reason why this was unpublished. It wasn't very good. It just didn't seem like Doc Savage to me. If only we could pop over to the alternate universe where Philip Jose Farmer had written those
Doc Savage stories he had planned! The sequel to the last Doc Savage novel! The story wher Doc goes after
the man who caused the great depression! I would rather read the entertaining Doc Savage fan fiction off the internet than read
a novel like Flight Into Fear again.

Probably the worst Doc novel. Will Murray edited this from what I understood was a non-Doc novel. I've read he later regreted doing so.

Basically it had the great weakness of The Red Spider__Doc was just another spy. At least Red Spider had Doc's aides in it.
