DESCRIPTION:
A team of scientists (assembled by his father) trained his mind and body to near-superhuman abilities almost from birth, giving him great strength and endurance, a photographic memory, mastery of the martial arts and vast knowledge of the sciences. Lester Dent, a serious man of adventure himself, contributed to the legendary Black Mask Magazine some hard boiled/noir crime tales as well. This edition sports a cover by the also legendary Doc Savage cover artist Bob Larkin!. Doc Savage is a physician, surgeon, scientist, adventurer, inventor, explorer, researcher, and musician —
A great collection of lost Doc treasure! Tim Lasiuta Rabid Doc Savage fans know all about the Lester Dent clasics, but now we can see what was, and lost. Through the intrepid work of Will Murray and Moonstone Books, 29 15 minute Doc Savage adventures can now see light.Behind a Bob Larkin cover are a wide variety of radio drama. Listeners to OTR appreciate a good drama, but rarely get to see the words behind them. In the foreword, Murray explains why we don't have audio copies of the originals yet tells a gem of what could have been.The scripts in the book are:Red DeathGolden LegacyRed Lake QuestSnipers in the SkyEvil ExtortionistBlack LIght Ma. Excellent collection of Dent authored Doc radio scripts This book collects the radio scripts written by Lester Dent in the early 30s.Due to the limitations of radio, and the length of time, these are a little different from the pulp stores.A great collection, but only a minor nit.Several years back, Will Murray's Odyssey Publications put out 2 collections of these scripts, with covers by Frank Hamilton. I reall wish there had been mention of this in the forward, and a reprint of the 2 covers. I bet a lot of people think this is the first time these scripts have seen print, when in fact they are the second time.. A fine collection A bargain at double the price, this book collects all the Lester Dent written Doc Savage radio shows. Unfortunately the recordings of these shows did not survive but for any Doc Savage fan wishing Dent had written more adventures this book is extremely satisfying. The Larkin cover is excellent and the mini adventures are great fun. Moonstone has put togther THE Doc Savage radio book. Highly recommended.
