Editorial Reviews

I'm a richer pulp fan for having read Skull Island. Will Murray takes our expectations and delivers upon them while still striking off on his own path, assembling a story that will please both Savage and Kong aficionados and remind us all just how cool pulp can be. theres heart and soul here..and I for one can't quite see how Murray will manage to to this one...but i know he will, somehow

This is definitely not your father's Doc Savage. Doc is young, fresh out of the Great War, and supremely confident to the point of recklessness at times. Doc and his father, who have a somewhat volatile relationship throughout the book, are seeking Doc's grandfather, Stormalong Savage. His abandoned ship is discovered sans masts, adrift in the Indian Ocean. A map hidden in a secret place has been water damaged, but one feature shows clearly: a skull shaped mountain...

It may sound impossible, but Will Murray has given the world the first truly literary Doc Savage novel....This is far more than the best adventure novel I have read in years; rather, it is the best novel of any kind that I have read in years.

This is the story long awaited by Doc fans....To be honest, I don't think anyone but Will Murray could have told this story; at least I'm glad he's the one who penned the volume. There will undoubtedly be naysayers, and years of debate whether or not Skull island is a masterpiece in pulp fiction, but for me this novels stands along side the best of the long series of Doc Savage adventures. And let's not forget the addition of Kong, lord of Skull Island!
