Nice mix of nostalgia, thriller and camp. Fun read for what it's worth.

I quite liked this book but probably shouldn't have. It's sexist and racist... and not subtly so, especially with regards to native Americans... But it's full of the same gee whiz, boys own adventure feel of Tarzan and early comic characters. Doc Savage himself hardly says a word and little insight is provided via his thoughts or internal monologue, but the narrator and Doc's entourage frequently reiterate Doc's supremacy in every human skill and trait. It's pulp, it's high adventure and if you can overlook it's sexist and racist commentary that brand it as a product of its time, it's a lot of fun.
