Doc Savage teams up with his beautiful cousin in the Lester Dent novels that introduced the character of Patricia Savage. First, the Man of Bronze and his Iron Crew investigate the murder of Doc's uncle. The only clues, a strange ivory cube and the mysterious "Brand of the Werewolf," set them on the trail of an ancient mystery. Then, after a failed kidnapping attempt, Doc and Pat Savage travel to the West Indies and encounter flesh-eating ants and a 130-year-old man on the strange island called "Fear Cay". This collector's item pulp reprint features the classic color pulp covers by Walter Baumhofer, interior illustrations by Paul Orban, and historical articles by Will Murray.

Meeting Pat Savage and Old Dan Thunden,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brand of the Werewolf / Fear Cay (Doc Savage, Vol. 13) (Paperback)
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!

Two of the Best Doc Savage Stories Ever,
By
This review is from: Brand of the Werewolf / Fear Cay (Doc Savage, Vol. 13) (Paperback)
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.
