Kenneth Robeson 
The Gold Ogre 

Meet the next generation of adventurers—Don Worth, B. Elmer Dexter, Mental Byron and Funny Tucker—as they help Doc, Monk and Ham solve the mysterious golden dwarves and fits of insanity plaguing Crescent City. This novel was a trial balloon for a spinoff series featuring a teenage version of Doc and his crew that never materialized. This issue concludes the 7-part Doc Savage Method of Self-Defense series.
