name strike terror into the hearts of brave men? Can even Doc Savage control
him once he breaks free of his icy tomb? From the Gobi Desert to war-torn Free
China, the Man of Bronze and his fighting crew battle a threat so terrifying

William Harper Littlejohn is in Mongolia
digging for fossils when he discovers an ice cave, and inside the body of a man
entombed within the ice. An inscription frightens him, and he immediately sends
a message to Doc Savage in New York. The message will bring Doc and his aides –
along with Cadwiller Olden - on a perilous adventure that sets the world on
fire. The resurrection of the man in the ice
starts a wave of killing by a Mongol horde that takes Johnny to the brink of
madness. Will Doc Savage be able to stop the terror that Johnny Littlejohn has
released upon China?
This is another great adventure of the Man of Bronze
in an epic tale that’s almost too big even for Doc Savage and his five aides.
Before it’s done thousands will be slaughtered, and the world immersed in a
World War. Will Murray’s creative writing continues to bring exciting
adventures of Doc Savage into a new generation of readers, and another great
cover by Joe DeVito graces the cover of “The Ice Genius”. Highly recommended.
