New Doc Savage novel just published!

FYI, fans of the Bronze Man... Altus Press has just released an all-new Doc Savage novel, the second in their "New Wild Adventures" imprint: Horror in Gold, by Will Murray writing as Kenneth Robeson. (The first was The Desert Demons, reviewed for Groovy Age here.) I haven't read this one yet, but I certainly dig the cool pulpy cover art!

I was also pleased to see that Horror in Gold and The Desert Demons are available in substantially cheaper Kindle editions. In fact, a tiny handful of the original Doc novels of the 1930s and '40s have been converted to the e-book format, too, although they're admittedly not among the topnotch series entries... Murder Melody, Cold Death,
The Black Spot, He Could Stop the World, Haunted Ocean, Murder Mirage, and Land of Long Juju are the only (original) Doc books I've been able to find so far for the Kindle.

W/o having read the new book, I appreciate the fact that the author worked the word "gold" into the title. Was there any buzzword used more often in DS titles than "gold/golden?"

Greetings,

My name is Salvador, I am the Managing Director for MovieBoozer, a unique and fresh movie review blog that rates movies by beers, posts movie drinking games, with news, trailer reviews, podcast, and a web comic. We have been producing humorous content for more than a year. We have more than 20 movie reviewing contributors who are film students, graduates, and movie lushes reviewing movies based on our beer rating system. The idea is, if a movie is bad, drink more beer (Six-Pack being our worst honor). A good movie we recommend one beer which we call A Toast, we raise a glass of beer and toast what we loved about the movie.

I'm writing to say hello and introduce myself. I also review movies for MovieBoozer and I wanted to acquaint our blog with other movie bloggers. If you enjoy our content and feel the urge to let your readers know about us, awesome!

Thank you for providing such great content!

Cheers!

-Salvador

Postscript: As of February 2012 it looks like Amazon has pulled most of the Doc Savage Kindle books... DESERT DEMONS and HORROR IN GOLD remain available, however. (The others weren't authorized, apparently.)
