"This (very well done) reprint of two 1930s pulp novels was my first attempt to enter the world of Doc Savage since a fifth grade reading of "Man of Bronze," which I loved. Unfortunately, I've grown up. Man, this was awful. It reads like it was written by 15 year old working without an editor. Doc's teammates--five brilliant experts in various fields, who behave like nitwits--are one dimensional and annoying. (And useless, since Doc is supposedly a bigger expert in their fields than they are.) The villian in Repel is a General (I guess) who talks in a variety of foreign accents for no reason I can see. Doc himself is completely without flaw or interesting characteristic.
The reproduction of orignal pulp pages and covers is nice, and the historical essay is interesting, but it all falls apart when you try to read the stories."
