Mad Mesa by Kenneth RobesonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
It's alright.
Not a bad book. I feel like the writing is actually better here than in many other Doc Savage novels; smoother, with fewer awkward phrases. More modern, maybe? And the story is about okay, though it's nothing amazing.
So it's kinda fun, with a straightforward crime to solve. This is the second Doc Savage I've read recently that has no supernatural angle even in the beginning. Well, maybe; a character thinks his identity has been changed, so that probably counts.
I keep thinking there will be a little more wonder or magic or excitement in these books than there ends up being. I'm reading through them like somebody eating their way through a box of chocolates, finding nothing too good or too bad, hoping for an amazing surprise that never materializes. Meanwhile--
It's alright.
