DOC SAVAGE: HIS APOCALYPTIC LIFE

In a special joint venture between Altus Press and Meteor House, just in time for its 40th anniversary and the 80th anniversary of Doc Savage, Philip José Farmer’s biography of the bronze crusader who fought almost 200 separate battles against the forces of evil “is ingenious, sardonic, adulatory, outrageous and funny in turn.” (Publisher’s Weekly) This deluxe hardcover edition comes just in time for Doc’s 80th anniversary, and features a brand new foreword by Farmer and pulp expert Win Scott Eckert; tributes by other Farmer and Doc experts, including John Allen Small, Keith Howell, Rick Lai, Art Sippo, Christopher Paul Carey, and current Doc Savage writer Will Murray; and other bonus materials not seen in prior editions:

THE SCARLET JAGUAR by Win Scott Eckert

This exciting novella is a sequel to Philip José Farmer and Win Scott Eckert’s Wold Newton novel THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE, about Patricia Wildman, daughter of one of the greatest heroes of our time: Doc Wildman, the bronze champion of justice. The Scarlet Jaguar kicks off a series of new adventures of Pat Wildman and her crew and is a limited edition signed novella by Win Scott Eckert, one of the world’s leading experts on Farmer’s Wold Newton Family! With cover and interior art by Mark Sparacio!

Pat Wildman and her crew race against time deep in the wilds of the Central American jungle, to face the menace of the Scarlet Jaguar’s weird power to eliminate his enemies from afar, marked only by a wisp of crimson smoke—smoke resembling nothing so much as the head of a blood-red screaming jaguar. But who—or what—is the Scarlet Jaguar? A power-mad dictator determined to reclaim power? A revolutionary movement bent on taking over the country of Xibum, and the rest of Central America? Or a front for something even more sinister . . .?

Preorder the book by June 30th and your name will appear on the acknowledgements page!
