\"'NewPro Se Press<\/a> is back with another volume of Thunder Jim Wade<\/strong>, the short-lived Doc Savage<\/a><\/strong> clone,. This time it’s a complete novella rather than a collection of short stories.<\/p>\n

Frank Schildiner<\/strong> gives us “The Horror of Hyberborea.”<\/p>\n

For those who missed my prior postings on Wade, he was created by SF author Henry Kuttner<\/strong> for the Thrilling line of pulps, and lasted five stories, reprinted recently by Altus Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He is usually written off as a Doc Savage clone, but he is different enough to warrant a closer look. He was raised by a lost civilization (Minos, a lost colony of Crete in Africa) after his explorer father died. He has various mental and physical abilities, most due to his upbringing. Afterwards, he became a sort of roving troubleshooter, operating out of a secret island in the south Pacific. His main claim to fame his unique vehicle called the Thunderbug<\/em> (a combination tank, submarine, airplane). It’s built using a special alloy, and hinted that the motor(s) may be atomic.<\/p>\n

He is aided by two associates who fill the “Monk<\/strong>–Ham<\/strong>” dynamic: “Red” Argyle”<\/strong> & Dirk Marat<\/strong>. Red is the burly Monk type, and Dirk is a small blond man who likes knives, thus the Ham type.<\/p>\n

In this story, they deal with the threat of a Nazi scientist (who is actually the son of a classic fictional character) trying to make use of the power of Hyberborea to possibly rule the world. Here, Hyberborea is a lost civilization that once ruled the world, but was defeated thanks the Minoans. Thunder Jim, being raised by a lost Minoan colony, has the means of stopping this, but will he be able to? Read and find out.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty good adventure. This is a good setup for further adventures. Be interesting if this is used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
