5.0 out of 5 stars More top flight Lin Carter!, January 18, 2000
By 
I am sure that when most people read these astounding adventures of Prince Zarkon, that they see the ghost of Robeson's Doc Savage moving through the pages. (Though to me Zarkon seems a more original, believable character than Doc Savage.) But when I read Volcano Ogre (note to Amazon.com - I believe the word in the title is "Ogre" not "Orge"!) I think back to those great Scooby Doo cartoons I used to watch as a kid. Scooby and the gang were always battling some villan who was masquerading as a mysterious monster. Volcano Ogre has the same feel, though of course Lin Carter's novel has a lot more depth than a 1 hour cartoon. Doc Menlo is like the brainy Valerie, only more so; and Scorchy can be likened to Shaggy. Of course, no cartoon character compares to the towering literary figure which is Prince Zarkon. I guess you've got to read this book - and I highly recommend it - to appreciate what Lin Carter has crafted here.
