A historic crossover seventy-five years in the making!

Out of tragedy, a hero is born... and an alliance formed! When an airliner carrying industrialist Richard Henry Benson and his family disappears, it's the first strike in a secret cabal's master plan for world conquest. As genius adventurer Doc Savage and brutal vigilante The Shadow attempt to avert disaster with their science and bullets, Benson rises from the ashes with a fearsome new identity: The Avenger. Can three men of contrasting ideology and methodology cast aside their inherent differences and band together to conquer the overwhelming threat of the Voodoo Master and his mysterious allies?


Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)

Review:

Reading this made me feel like I had no idea what was going on. This was not written for the casual or new reader because there was no back story given about these characters and I'm not exactly the most knowledgeable with The Shadow, Doc Savage and The Avenger so this story left me feeling a little confused.

There's a lot of time traveling, historical figures, a wacky villain, scientific discoveries, switching back and forth between the past and the present, lackluster heroes and all of that was coupled with bland writing and a confusing plot.

This was not a good read for me.
