Bleeding Sun
Doc and his courageous crew race to the Far East to combat the Axis plague! Can they solve the mystery of an insidious new weapon certain to turn the tide of the war? What causes the sun to turn red and ships to disappear? Can mere light really turn a man to smoke and ashes? Will Doc and Monk save Ham in time or will he too die under a bleeding sun?
More Precious than Gold
Second novel in the “Bronze Saga Trilogy.” Writer Mark Eidemiller says of the first novel Bronze Refind as Silver: “This is a story about Doc Savage. There may be die-hard fans of Doc who will view this story as sacreligious. But what I am striving for in this story is to set the character of Doc Savage in a direction he has never gone in before, an adventure that reaches beyond the physical and temporal. If this doesn’t appeal to you, stop reading here. I make no apologies for the concept of what I write.”
