When out of work magician Gulliver Greene stumbles upon a man who claims to be Christopher Columbus, still alive in 1937, it's only the start of the most complex plot ever to involve the incredible Doc Savage.
Called to the sleepy farm town of La Plata, Missouri, the Man of Bronze plunges into the enigma of the vanishing Victorian house. Is it haunted? Is it even real? Can Doc solve the mystery––or will he be sucked into the unknown vortex into which it disappears?
From his supersecret Crime College to a sinister island in the Great Lakes, Doc Savage and his brilliant team race to assemble the most baffling webwork of Halloween horrors ever encountered. For many weird mysteries beyond human ken converge in the Missouri wilderness in this, the wildest Doc Savage adventure yet!

I loved it, and likely so will you if you are a Doc Savage or pulp fan.Using the plotting and other materials from the primary original writer of Doc Savage (Lester Dent), Will Murray weaves a great tale. For the last several years, I have been rereading the original Doc novels in spurts. This summer I read those submitted in 1940 through early 1942. One of my personal joys in reading this book was the similarity in style and development to the earlier novels. Odd, over-the-top characters, strange apparently impossible technical mysteries, lots of action!
One difference in Miracle Menace from the early 1940s Doc novels is its complexity; it is perhaps the most intricate Doc novel ever written, and the longest at slightly over 400 pages…and that is a danger for the reader. Typical to Dent’s novels, the first part is a bit confusing given strange events and the introduction of the book’s odd characters. Since this book follows this style, the reader might be confused somewhat to exactly what is happening after the first 100-200 pages. Knowing that the situations would be worked out, I find that it is a definite page turner keeping me interested in order to find out what really is happening.
Of course, the book’s action is the other reason the reader will be spellbound and have difficulty setting it down before completing it!
I must admit that I like Murray’s work even better when he writes in his own style, such as with Skull Island. Having stated this bias, let me reiterate the excellence of this novel…indeed, I would buy anything that Murray might write and hope to have plenty of opportunities in the future to do so!

Doc Savage The Miracle Menace The Wild Adventures of Doc Savage Book 7 edition by Lester Dent Will Murray Kenneth Robeson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I usually like the Doc Savage novels. I had a hard time with this novel. It jumped all over the place. This was not a bad story, but the problem was the idea of time travel kind of threw me off. I think the same thing will happen to other readers.
After all the wait..finally a really great Wild Adventure of Doc Savage!!!!! I do not want to give a lot of spoilers here, but it is as if Mr. Murray, knowing he strayed a little far from the Docs we know and love in the last one, came back with a LOT of the good stuff in Miracle. We had reference to old villains, some gadgetry, Nazis(don't know why there is not and was not more of Doc tangling with the Nazis) a whomping big mystery and Doc even a little put out of his usual inscrutable self. The history was well-done and the aides done to a T. I would have loved to have seen the threatened Long Tom-Monk fight, though (enough of a teaser??)...
Well done, Mr. Murray, well done indeed. Now let's get some more out there!!!!!!!
Mandatory reference to Tarzan?/Correct spatial description of time travel!/2 deferent novels in 1(one not a Doc story)/Footnotes?/seems to prefer Columbus over native Americans-might have something to do with the authors birthdate.
Interesting story with time travel and mind-reading in the mix! Will Murray does a great job with Doc Savage and his crew. When the cover says the "Wild Adventures" that is just what it means. This was written from Lester Dent's notes. Has a nice twist at the end! Not my favorite of the new adventures but it was fun to read. The idea of one chapter being about what happens characters not on Doc's team and then the next chapter what happens to Doc and crew and then back and forth until all the characters meet towards the end was interesting. I happened to read the book on my a chapter or so at a time over several weeks and sometimes lost track of what was going on but at the end it all came together.
Pure pulp fun in this latest Doc Savage novel from Will Murray and Lester Dent as Doc and his men confront a house in the middle of the woods that disappears when anyone approaches, a bloodthirsty Indian named Big Neck that likes to scalp people, and a man people seem interested in killing who claims to be Christopher Columbus. Yes that Chirstopher Columbus alive in 1937.
THE MIRACLE MENACE is packed with colorful characters Gilliver Greene, The Great Gulliver, a magician, and his stooge Spook Davis, Greene's uncle, Box Daniels who brings him into the mystery, a religious group called the Silent Saints and the beautiful young woman in burlap known as Saint Pete, a fat man, Harvell Braggs.
Had a great time reading this one and look forward to the next one.
To say the least, this story did not follow the standard formula, varying in some quite interesting ways. With most of the story being divided between Doc and his crew, and Gulliver Green and his circle of characters, each engaged in a different adventure that gradually became the same adventure, this was a complex and highly satisfying read. A working time machine, Christopher Columbus, a religious movement, ESP, international spies, savage Indians and plucky magicians- this one had them all, and they were worked into a compelling, thoughtful tale, sure to hold one's interest throughout. An emphasis on Doc's crime college and its graduates was long overdue, as was the reappearance of old characters. Doc was different here- sometimes appearing in over his head, actually astonished by things he had not conceived of- which marked a departure from formula as well. No doubt this took Doc Savage adventures into a different realm, but long-time fans will not be disappointed!
I loved it, and likely so will you if you are a Doc Savage or pulp fan.
