Chi ama l'azione, il movimento, la libera, scatenata corsa di peripezie, coincidenze, colpi di scena e di mano, non potrà non diventare un "patito" di Doc Savage, detto l'Uomo di bronzo. Questo grande ciclo di romanzi d'avventure, che fu celebre nell'America degli anni '30, conosce ora in tutto il mondo un nuovo strepitoso successo, e Urania ne ha iniziato la pubblicazione in una serie indipendente mensile. In questo romanzo una stranissima epidemia si diffonde tra gli abitanti del New Jersey. Ma c'è poco da ridere. Una serie di scosse telluriche rivela che l'irrefrenabile ilarità ha origini più profonde. Sotto la crosta terrestre si nasconde qualcosa, ma Doc e i suoi amici non credono che si tratti di un fenomeno naturale. Chi può avere interesse a truccare un terremoto? Copertina di Karel Thole
Author
Kenneth Robeson was the house name used by Street and Smith Publications as the author of their popular character Doc Savage and later The Avenger. Though most Doc Savage stories were written by the author Lester Dent, there were many others who contributed to the series, including: William G. Bogart Evelyn Coulson Harold A. Davis Lawrence Donovan Alan Hathway W. Ryerson Johnson Lester Dent is usually considered to be the creator of Doc Savage. In the 1990s Philip José Farmer wrote a new Doc Savage adventure, but it was published under his own name and not by Robeson. Will Murray has since taken up the pseudonym and continued writing Doc Savage books as Robeson. All 24 of the original stories featuring The Avenger were written by Paul Ernst, using the Robeson house name. In order to encourage sales Kenneth Robeson was credited on the cover of The Avenger magazine as "the creator of Doc Savage" even though Lester Dent had nothing to do with The Avenger series. In the 1970s, when the series was extended with 12 additional novels, Ron Goulart was hired to become Robeson.
