In fact, that was the first novel I ever wrote. Sometimes the premises are as short as a page or even a paragraph. I think I have one that's just a paragraph long, but it's a good paragraph. It's an interesting paragraph. It's a provocative thing, and then I'd have to build from that.

A brilliant supervillain has dreamed up the ultimate secret weapon ... a desperate masterstroke that will assure victory for the Kaiser -- or obliterate mankind from the face of the earth! Young Clark Savage and his team come together for the first time in this action-packed saga of World War I. Though only sixteen, he's the real Doc -- hard fisted, cerebral, the compassionate Man of Bronze. Shot down behind enemy lines. Captured by a German baron and his exotic mistress. Escaped. Recaptured. Finally imprisoned in escape-proof salt mines -- where the baron's experiments on human guinea pigs could result in a sinister weapon of total destruction. It's Doc's young mind against evil's keenest intellect. And unless Doc wins, the war could end for the Allies -- in a blaze of genocidal fury!
