A brilliant supervillain has dreamed up the ultimate secret weapon... a desperate masterstroke that will assure victory for the Kaiser – or obliterate mankind from the face of the earth! Young Clark Savage and his team come together for the first time in this action-packed saga of World War I. Though only sixteen, he's the real Doc – hard fisted, cerebral, the compassionate Man of Bronze. Shot down behind enemy lines. Captured by a German baron and his exotic mistress. Escaped. Recaptured. Finally imprisoned in escape-proof salt mines - where the baron's experiments on human guinea pigs could result in a sinister weapon of total destruction. It's Doc's young mind against evil's keenest intellect. And unless Doc wins, the war could end for the Allies – in a blaze of genocidal fury! Hugo Award winner Philip José Farmer, superstar of speculative fiction and author of biographical studies of Doc Savage and Tarzan, now adds to the legend of the Man of Bronze in this riveting adventure of Doc's early days.
