Post Doc Savage
The Sinister Shadow (The Wild Adventures of Doc Savage Book 14)
by Kenneth Robeson/Will Murray 2015

If you aren't familiar with the great pulp heroes, you may take a while to get into this one, but I found it an agreeable pastiche in which the Man of Bronze crosses paths with The Shadow. Doc is baffled at first whether the Shadow is a bad guy or a crime-fighter, and even ships one of the Shadow's agents off to be treated at his secret "College" in the mountains.
The plot thickens .....

Unimpressed. Long slog. Reasons were the amateurish writing, cliches, immature romance scenes, slow plot and callous regard for life. The dragons were interesting, and the ending was unexpected. This may be a case where the TV show is better than the book.

Considering all the best-book-of-the-year awards this title won I expected more ... much much more. Regarding the "romantasy" category, Naomi Novik's A Deadly Education was far superior IMO.

Next, The Inverted World by Christopher Priest, a Hugo nominee 1975.
