info_outlineAuthor Malcolm Deeley began writing Doc Savage stories when he was a teenager. Over the years he honed his creative powers and in 2015, he started the Doc Talos website to showcase his wares. These stories are homages to Doc Savage (and Lester Dent) but especially to the vision of Philip Jose Farmer in his seminal and shocking book A Feast Unknown. Malcolm wanted to take some of the concepts that Phil had created and explored them in greater depth.
On the Doc Talos website, both print and ebook versions of the 9 books of the Doc Talos universe are available through the bookstore. And there are also several books in process that will be published this year.
