COVER
TEXT:
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!
Hugo Award winner Philip José Farmer, superstar of
speculative fiction and author of biographical studies of Doc Savage
and Tarzan, now adds to the legend of the Man of Bronze in this
riveting adventure of Doc's early days.
