I love this modern Pulp style adventure series. Lin Carter does an excellent job of capturing the adventure style of the Doc Savage and Avengers novels. This volume has many of the lady sidekicks of the Pulp heroes in cameos. Recommended

A fun novel.
Prince Zarkon, The Man From The Future tries to stop his arch enemy, Lucifer, from extorting all the banks of Knickerbocker City with the threat of earthquakes, which should be impossible.
A very fun book, with lots of name checks from the pulp days.

Amusing enough,though makes Ian Fleming's Bond novels read like Tolstoy's War and Peace.

Fun and entertaining throw back to the pulp novels. The story straight forward but moves well and the fun is seeing other characters from other pulps turn up. Such as Doc Savage, Nick Charles etc.

Not as good as the others. Not much happens so other than how do they pull off being able to not be shot, the rest is just nothing.
