A new Doc Brazen adventure: Net Prophet by Jeff Deischer Award winning author Jeff Deischer returns to his pulp roots with adventure #3 in his Doc Brazen series, a pastiche based on a certain bronze hero we all know and love. (You may be wondering what happened to Volume #2 in the series. Jeff explains what happened in the interview.) This is a reimagining of what might have happened if Doc retired for 50 years and then came back into the modern world to deal with new threats of a decidedly kind. The story hits the ground running and introduces new aides and shows a 100+ year old Doc in terrific (albeit less than perfect form). The story is a lot of fun and is part of a larger planned series Which will be published over the next 2 years. Every true Doc savage fan will want to read this! From Jeff: "Two of Doc Brazen's aides stumble onto a corpse in such unusual circumstances that they feel compelled to investigate the murder, which naturally brings Doc Brazen into the mix. With no obvious suspects because of the unusual circumstances, the victim's ties to a New Age Hollywood temple, Eleusinian Ministries, take the foreground of the investigation. I can be reached with comments or feedback through the publisher's email address in in the indicia of the novel." Net Prophet: Jeff Deischer Author Page: /episode/index/show/artsreviews/id/21081338

"The Man Who Met Tarzan" An interview with Paul Spiteri and Mike Croteau In the 1960s, Philip Jose Farmer began an in-depth study of the Tarzan stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs to find the true story behind the actual person upon whom Tarzan of the Apes was based. This included historical studies, reviews of Burke's Peerage, and delving into the scientific bases of a feral man raised by apes. He also started putting out "feelers" to obtain an interview with the actual man upon whom Tarzan was based. He eventually succeeded in obtaining a 15 minute interview with this person. This book edited by Paul Spiteri and Mike Croteau collects all the known documentation of Farmer's investigations and the text of the interview. There is some material collected here that has never been published before. It also includes some of Farmer's notes from "The Magic Filing Cabinet" that have never been seen before. Here is the material that inspired Phil Farmer to write his definitive biography of Lord Greystoke, Tarzan Alive and his novels A Feast Unknown, The Mad Goblin, Lord of the Trees, and Lord Tyger.
