Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: The author of this piece respectfully declined the opportunity to post an author comment or biography, preferring the work to stand on its own. So it is presented here as authored by “Anon”. A uniquely hard-edged look at a possible envisioned end to Doc’s career.



Additional note: If you are interested in submitting fiction to the Summer 2021 contest (first prize is a Bantam Doc Savage paperback Czar of Fear first edition, signed by James Bama, and all contestants will appear in a special souvenir paperback collection of the stories) you can read the contest guidelines HERE.
