Brand of the Werewolf/Fear Cay

These are the two best Docs ever written. Brand of the Werewolf introduces Pat Savage and Fear Cay is non-stop action. There's a sequence regarding the ants toward the end that will remind you of the ant sequence of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull movie. (Fear Cay is a better story and Doc a better character, but that's just my opinion.) Highly recommended.

What a wonderful combination! These two novels are some of the best or most important in the Doc Savage canon. In Werewolf we meet the beautiful, young, impetuous cousin of Doc, Patricia Savage. She would become the most famous recurring character in the series outside of the tightly-bound Band of Iron. You get an instant sense why in her first adventure, when she refuses to stay out of harm's way and rushes side-by-side into danger. Secondly, we get the amazing tale of Old Dan Thunden and Fear Cay. It is one of the most remarkable in the series and one of my personal favorites. It has everything from superscience to ancient history, terrifying action to profound mysteries for the ages. This must-read Doc is a one of a kind adventure. Great to see these two tales bound together. This is a nicely wrapped package of pure dynamite!
